Championing innovative mobility

I have been interested in innovation in transportation for my entire career. I started out working on transport funding and policy for the government of Ontario, and later planned a new rapid-transit line for the city of Mississauga; this experience taught me the value of good transport for cities.

My later experience at Sidewalk Labs (the Alphabet smart-city firm), developing mobility systems for a proposed “city of the future”, helped me become aware early of the transformative potential of driving automation.

In this program, I’ll explore how mobility innovation can address climate change, improve everyone’s quality of life, and reshape cities for the better.

Aspiring Renaissance man

Andrew Miller holds a BA from McGill, an MA from Yale, and a PhD from Johns Hopkins, none of which are related to what he’s doing now. He is an avid cyclist and hiker; a licensed private detective; and hosts, annually, a board-gaming convention at his home.

The award-winning play  The Master Plan contains a character partially based on him. Courtesy of his extensive reviews of Amazing Spider-Man, he’s been quoted in the media as a “Spider-Man expert”. He’s also fun at parties.
