Which Way for Oil and Gas?
Total's decision to invest in the Shetlands is hailed as a vote of confidence in the North Sea's energy sector. And ThyssenKrupp develops a lift that goes up, down and sideways.
There's been a recovery in the global oil price. We ask Total's chief executive, Patrick PouyannΓ©, whether it will last. Also, Andreas Schierenbeck, chairman of ThyssenKrupp Elevators, tells us about a new kind of lift the company is developing that goes not only up and down, but sideways too. How will it transform the way we design and construct buildings? Plus, Jeremy Wagstaff, Thomson Reuters' chief technology correspondent for Asia, wonders what driverless cars will do to the way we use roads.
