Defining Success

China's Quest to Win the EV/AV Race in a Warming World

_____________________________

It's no secret that China has ambitious plans for the development of electric vehicles and autonomous mobility and it's clear that they are on track to becoming a world leader in these industries. However, while this technology is thriving in local markets, will Chinese companies be able to find equal success in Europe? Ross Douglas, Founder & CEO of Autonomy writes about his recent trip to China, the surprising trends he discovered, the obstacles that stand in the way of the tech giants in exporting their mobility solutions and what this ultimately means in the fight against global warming.

Hyper Growth: Dispelling the Notion of Success in Micromobility

_____________________________

As shared e-scooter and other micromobility companies continue to raise the big bucks from investors and expand into cities despite not yet turning a profit, we are left wondering what "growth" really mean in this sector. Scott Shepard, Chief Business Officer at Iomob Technology Services, picks apart the growth model of micromobility and explains how these companies can guaratee their own businesses' sustainability while contributing to equitable mobility in cities.
