Viodi View

Jumping into the air travel portal again, finding a floating oasis over a Dallas highway, fixed wireless take-off, #driverless compared to #VOD, & more in the latest #ViodiView https://viodi.com/2021/06/11/06-11-21-viodi-view/

#KlydeWarrenPark is a bucket list item. This park is an oasis rising over an urban freeway & is a great example of how to reconnect neighborhoods. It has a variety of activities & events that appeal to all ages and groups. The $110M investment has had a reported $2.5B economic impact. That figure probably doesn't capture the quality of life improvements associated with the dampening of the freeway noise, the 300+ additional trees, or the joy of running through one of its fountains on a hot Dallas day. https://youtu.be/-xj8uIPdyNA

Enjoyed catching up with Fred Fishkin and Alain Kornhauser this morning on the @SmartDrivingCars podcast. We talked about the challenges of driverless with Cade Metz of the New York Times. It triggered some thoughts on the parallels of VOD to driverless. Read more and watch the podcast here https://viodi.com/2021/05/27/driverless-the-vod-of-today/

Aryn Nakaoka and his team have come up with a brilliantly simple, yet effective way to #contacttrace. No app required just a phone that can text. It is a scalable approach that could be replicated by other service providers beyond Hawaii. This is one business Nakoka hopes to kill, but in the meantime, he indicates if it can save a life, it will be worth it. https://www.viodi.tv//a-brilliantly-simple-app-free-conta/
