Mark graduated from UC Berkeley in 1996 with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. After 11 years in the computer games industry and the sale of his first startup, GarageGames, Mark has turned his entrepreneurial energy towards sustainable transportation. His current endeavor, Arcimoto, founded in 2007, is building an ultra-efficient electric vehicle to more cleanly satisfy everyday transportation needs. Mark currently serves on the Oregon Transportation Commission. Mark discusses in broad strokes the history of automotive transportation, the iterative development of Arcimoto’s SRK, and a tour of convergent future technologies that will enable a sustainable transportation system. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
