In today’s show, we examine the role of platforms in micromobilities rise, and what role they might play in furthering adoption. Specifically, we cover: - What an entry into the micromobility space might look like for Apple, and how their experience in interface stepchanges puts them at a unique advantage. - How autonomous cars are analogous to wormholes vs. a more tactile engaging experience of the world with micromobility. - What a platform built on a micromobiltiy fleet might look like, and what it might enable, and what names we might give to these experiences in the same way that cars have crusing, drivethrus and cinemas. - The stage of the market, and the parallels to the Playstation vs Xbox and Android vs iOS arguments. - How the network effects of micromobility sharing platforms are inverse to the traditional car infrastructure. - Horace introduces his new research paper looking at modal shifts with the introduction of e-mobility in a cities transport mix. As always, transcript of this show is available on our Medium page.
