Podcar 101 (PRT in a Nutshell)
On Wednesday, Oct 27 at 3pm at the Martin Luther King Library in downtown San Jose, there will be a Podcar 101 primer for journalists, investment brokers, financial analysts and others who want a quick overview of the podcar phenomenon. Pre-registration is necessary.
PRTi has roots back to the 1960s when commercial efforts first emerged. Podcar 101 will deliver PRT is a Nutshell – in an information packet and 55 minutes of presentation drawing from ATRA (Advanced Transit Association) expertise explaining the market context in which podcars must compete (by Larry Fabian of Trans.21) and the parameters of podcar design and operational modalities (by Peter Muller of PRT Consulting). Different business models for PRT services will be explored (by Jeral Poskey of Google)
Podcar 101 will be helpful for members of the press, academia, industry analysis, engaged citizens and others who seek to assess for themselves the significance and potential of PRT and benefit more from the 3-day Podcar City: San Jose conference (Oct. 27-29) that follows it. Conference attendees can register for Podcar 101 for an extra $20. Others can enroll with credit card at the ATRA web site for $55 (ATRA and IST members $35).
