Summary: (http://kamlashow.com/podcast/wp-content/uploads/Sheryl-Connelly-Mug-150x150.jpg)In Part-2 of our conversation Ford Motor Co's (http://www.ford.com) futurist Sheryl Connelly talks about her role as a futurist. While we can predict the future, we can help shape it is one way of describing what she does points out Sheryl. A car is much more than taking you from Point A to Point B she says. So, what is a car going to look like in the future? Driverless car? The global population is going to see an increase from the current 7 billion to 9 billion. What does that mean? Will cars became a utility? Will there be cars on demand? These, and other questions are answered by Sheryl. This is Part-2 of our 2-part conversation with Sheryl that was recorded in Palo Alto in August 2012.
