Make way for drones, electric cars and autonomous trucks. The seemingly futuristic transportation technologies are close to transforming the way people and cargo travel, some of the world’s biggest names in business and politics were told Thursday at a high-powered gathering at the Perot family’s Circle T Ranch.

At the UP.Summit on Thursday, hundreds of investors came to hear from leading experts in aviation, transportation and defense about the latest innovations that could significantly change the way people and goods move.

“We want to stay on top of the new technology,” said Ross Perot Jr., who leads one of the country’s largest independent property portfolios. “We want to attract the greatest entrepreneurs.”

The gathering this week features major international power players such as former President George W. Bush, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and former Secretary of State and Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson.
