Next Challenge: How can we improve your connectivity while traveling? |
Around the world owning a vehicle is becoming less and less common. Most residents in urban areas are using a mix of mobility service providers. Even those in non-urban areas are losing interest in their cars. Take a look at the following trends:
- Uber and Lyft saw 8,000 new riders every month in 2014
- Relay Rides, Getaround, and car2go are providing new ways to get people from A to B
- Commuting bus services are utilizing rapid advancement of on-demand routing technology
- 85% of high school seniors had a drivers license in 1996 vs. just 73% in 2013
- It is predicted that by 2040 over 75% of cars in the US will be self driving
1. What will be the biggest change in mobility in 10 years?
2. What will the role of vehicle manufacturers be when the changes have arrived?
3. What radical changes can vehicle manufacturers make now to to be successful in your proposed scenario?
4. (bonus) Who will own and operate the vehicles if not individual citizens?
Characteristics of winning solutions:
