CHASING THE GREENEST CAR #08 | What is the future of mobility? | BMW Podcast

The home stretch on CHASING THE GREENEST CAR. Today’s episode is the end of the line for Anne Therese. Time to say goodbye! The search for the greenest car will continue, because if there is anything that Anne Therese, you, and we have learned from the previous episodes, it’s that we are a long way from our destination. The greenest car doesn’t exist yet, but there are ideas and visions of how it could look, feel, sound, and be produced. And there are people who have made this vision their mission. In the last episode of CHASING THE GREENEST CAR, Anne Therese meets two of them, and together they look into the next few years, decades, and centuries. Are you ready for one last glimpse into the future?
