Autonomous Vehicles and The Future of Mobility
Autonomous technology is no longer a futuristic dream; it's rapidly becoming our reality. From robotaxis navigating city streets to drones delivering packages, machines are taking the wheel – and the skies – to move people and goods with unprecedented efficiency. But what truly powers every safe and reliable autonomous journey? It's the invisible digital systems working tirelessly behind the scenes. In the latest episode of Interconnected, join hosts Glenn Dekhayser and Simon Lockington as they delve into this crucial topic with MIT Research Scientist Bryan Reimer and Equinix VP of Market Development Petrina Steele. Discover how global infrastructure is evolving to support the next generation of autonomy. Key Highlights Edge computing enables vehicles to process and share data locally for faster, safer decisions. Low-latency connectivity determines how efficiently mission-critical computation moves between the car and the cloud. Multi-layer sensing and redundancy improve safety both inside and outside autonomous systems. Mining leads current automation efforts due to its regulated, closed environments and strong ROI. AI continues to enhance decision-making, learning and coordination across connected systems. Future autonomy will rely on open data marketplaces, adaptive energy grids and edge zones that blanket cities.

You're adopting AI at a breathtaking pace, and for good reason—it’s changing everything from personalized customer experiences to operational efficiency. But as you scale those exciting new workloads, have you stopped to think about the energy they consume? That was a central theme at Climate Week NYC, where our Equinix VP of Sustainability, Christopher Wellise, joined other industry leaders to discuss a critical, emerging truth: The rapid growth of AI and data centers is fundamentally reshaping the U.S. energy landscape, and the solutions are a lot smarter than you might think. “AI and data center growth are reshaping the energy landscape," said Christopher Wellise. "At Equinix, we’re committed to powering progress responsibly—through innovation, collaboration, and a future-first mindset.” Here’s a breakdown of the key takeaways from a customer perspective, focusing on what this means for your business continuity, sustainability goals, and future infrastructure planning. AI is driving exponential energy demand: Workload growth for AI is doubling every six months, with data centers projected to consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity in the near future. Data centers as grid assets: CW emphasized the shift from viewing data centers as “energy hogs” to recognizing their potential as contributors to grid stability. He spotlighted Equinix’s Silicon Valley site powered by solid oxide fuel cells, which generate electricity without combustion—reducing emissions and water use. Responsible AI in action: Equinix is using AI to create digital twins that optimize energy efficiency across facilities, showcasing how technology can drive sustainability. Collaboration is key: CW called for deeper partnerships across government, utilities, and tech providers to scale clean energy solutions and modernize infrastructure. Future First strategy: Equinix’s sustainability program continues to lead with a 100% clean and renewable energy target (currently at 96% globally), and active exploration of next-gen energy technologies like small modular reactors (SMRs).
