What if we applied the principles of safe air travel to the riskiest activity people engage in every day: driving cars? Aircraft engineer and safety expert Ed Paxton shares how we can change the culture of complacency around driving -- and dramatically reduce the risk of accidents -- by thinking like a pilot.
As the world and our interactions grow more complex, so do our challenges. To solve for modern problems, we need a new framework for innovation itself, one that considers all perspectives and outcomes in the calculus. In September 2019 TED@DuPont speakers shared their ideas that can serve to truly transform society at The Fillmore in Philadelphia.
