Disrupting the Mobility Industry

A wave of disruption has reached the automotive industry as not only consumer’s excitement at the prospect of shared mobility, electric vehicles, and autonomous cars has risen but also the fact that many technology innovators are seizing mobility as a complementary business model to their core competencies. Autonomous, shared, or electric vehicles are nevertheless not the sole breakthroughs in mobility, merely the best known.

The industry has seen important advances in driver assistants, hydrogen fuel cells for electric cars and connected cars with an estimated  152 million of them roaming the streets by 2020.
