Scheller College of Business is popular for being at the intersection of business and technology. On the Ramblin' Roundtable, Scheller students, alums, faculty, and more break this intersection down further to discuss hot topics in the intersection of technology and different business areas. In today's episode, 2nd year MBA candidate Stephen Stradley, 1st year MBA candidate Sunny Gupta, and from across the bridge Dr. Patricia Mokhtarian from Georgia Tech's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering talk about their passions for mobility, current events going on in the field, and whether or not we will have flying taxis in our future. Listen to the episode to find out more!
