Podcasts about automobility

The global car industry is facing major upheaval after US President Donald Trump imposed a 145 percent tariff on Chinese imports in early April – the highest so far in the US-China trade dispute. The tariffs, which apply to dozens of countries including US allies, aim to protect American manufacturing. But they are also making car production and trade more expensive and complicated, especially for automakers and consumers in the US and China.Bill Russo, CEO of Automobility, a Shanghai-based think tank, said the auto industry has long depended on large, low-cost markets, with China at the centre. He said the new tariffs disrupt this model by raising costs and making it harder for companies using cheaper Chinese production to stay competitive.US automakers and consumers are likely to face higher costs, he said, while Chinese carmakers will be less affected because they do not rely heavily on the US market.The US tariffs are also likely to change how the European Union deals with China.While the EU has already imposed its own tariffs on Chinese goods, mainly electric cars, Beijing and Brussels are now more likely to work together in response to Washington's “America First” approach.EU votes to impose tough new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles

Measured by distance and speed, today North Americans move more than ever. Movement, however, is but a means to an end; more movement is not in itself beneficial. Movement is a cost of meeting daily needs, and provided these needs are met, less movement is generally advantageous. Nevertheless, since the 1930s traffic engineers have pursued movement maximization in North American cities as if movement is an end in itself, and even as if movement is in itself freedom. The human costs have included unbearable burdens measurable as financial, health, safety, equitability, livability and environmental costs. Together these burdens impair human autonomy; that is, by constraining people's choices about where and how to live, they diminish freedom. Automobility, promoted as a deliverer of freedom, has instead imposed car dependency, a kind of unfreedom. Paradoxically, many engineers now pursue so-called “autonomous” (robotic) driving, promising thereby to sustain unsustainable quantities of movement, when the sole worthy end of movement is not machine but human autonomy. To escape the traps that these errors set for us, we must trace them to their origins. Though engineering is defined as applied science, history reveals that the origins and persistence of prevailing traffic engineering principles lie not in scientific research but in power politics, and that such principles have more in common with religious dogmas than with natural laws. Far more practical possibilities await us when we escape the confines these dogmas impose on us and recognize movement as a secondary good that serves us only as it contributes to human autonomy.

The extraordinary rise of China's electric vehicle market is one of the most remarkable business stories of our times. In just over a decade, the country has come to account for over half of global EV sales, and is now home to some of the world's biggest EV makers. One of them, BYD, recently overtook Tesla as the world ‘s largest EV producer.How has this happened? What's been the response in other countries? And where next for electric vehicles, as the way we buy, run and use our cars undergoes a period of fundamental change?Joining us to discuss these questions we have Bill Russo, founder and chief executive of auto sector consultancy Automobility - and Tu Le, founder and managing director of Sino Auto Insights.

With China's commerce Minister Wang Wentao in Europe and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in Beijing this week – accusations of overcapacity in the EV market have been top of the agenda around the world – accusations China has strongly denied.  So with the need for more electric powered cars only growing as the world seeks to hit tough net zero targets, where is the sector really headed?In this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann speaks to Tu Le, Founder and Managing Director of Sino Auto Insights and Bill Russo, Chief Executive of consultants Automobility to find out.And with the focus on the future of EVs, Juliet also speaks to Kiva Allgood from the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains at the World Economic Forum to find out why the sector can only really work if we move towards a truly circular system.

In this episode, filmed live at the Consumer Electronics Show 2024 (CES 2024), George Ayres, Founder and Managing Director of AutoMobility Advisors speaks with host John Heinlein, Chief Marketing Officer of Sonatus in the podcast studio at the Sonatus booth. In this wide-ranging episode we discuss SDV, vehicle electrification, fleet management, vehicle personalization, and much more.

Zack Furness, an associate professor of communications at Penn State Greater Allegheny, talks about his 2010 book, One Less Car: Bicycling and the Politics of Automobility (Temple University Press), with Peoples & Things host, Lee Vinsel. One Less Car examines the history of how bicycles became a tool and object of advocacy and activism. With roots going back 1960s countercultures and growing through punk subcultures and the Critical Mass movement, bicycle activism has been an important focus of environmentalism and countering what Furness calls the “automobile-industrial complex.” Over a wide-ranging conversation, Furness and Vinsel also discuss Furness's more recent research project on the history of Israeli punk bands.

OUR 25th EPISODE! Meet Bill Russo, Founder and CEO of Shanghai-based Automobility. Bill founded a strategy and investment advisory firm that helps its clients build and profit from the future of mobility. In this episode, Bill provides a bleak outlook for the foreign automobile manufacturers in China who have missed the opportunity to re-think mobility as something more efficient, more environmentally friendly, and fundamentally more profitable than the current model, which relies purely on a one-time sale of a product and its eventual maintenance and repair. To Bill, the automobile is the least efficient device on Earth, but China companies are now leading the world in redefining automobile ownership.

With Dr Kostas Stylidis (CEO and Co-Founder of Intended Future, an Associate Professor at University West and part-time associate researcher at the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden), we discuss: intentionally planning our future, living the revival of the roaring 1920s in automobility, why researchers and academics are needed now more than ever in the industry? how AI could utilise engineering knowledge, human senses, and product quality to deliver quality in future automobility, cutting-edge technology vs the perceived experience quality in autonomous vehicles, and quality 5.0 in smart automobility.

Last time on the Brake, we chatted with authors Robert Braun and Richard Randell about why automobility isn't really about cars at all — and how it's beocme what they call a "totalitarian system" that touches virtually every part of our lives.  Today, we bring you part two of that conversation, and dive into the difficult question of what a world beyond automobility might look like — and how on Earth we might get there. Would it be good enough to just make automobility less destructive by equipping cars with batteries and automated driving features? How different would our world look if the evidence of automobility's violence wasn't immediately hidden from the public eye? And could the tobacco industry serve as an example for regulating not just the car itself, but the culture that surrounds it?   Listen up, and check out Post Automobility Futures today.

In this double episode, I chat with Jared Foster, National Sales Manager with Automobility, and also Jenny Elliott from Swan Hill who is the carer of a daughter with a disability.

Today Oliver interviews Michael Dunne, founder of Zozogo, former VP of JD Power in China, GM of General Motors Indonesia and host of the Winning in Asia podcast which covers the auto sector in China. Mike has a huge depth of experience in China, which is an area that the team haven't covered as much as we'd like on this show. The conversation gave rise to a lot of discussions about the lay of the land in the Chinese auto sector, the role of the Chinese auto sector in Micromobility and how micromobility will need to change to see adoption from those who are coming from poverty into wealth and are looking for highly performant and high status vehicles. It's a great discussion and one that we think you'll really enjoy. Specifically they dig into:- Mike's background and how a kid from Detroit ended up in China in the 1990s. - the Dynamics of the local Chinese car industry, including a breakdown of local vs joint ventures vs Tesla. - what (totally crazy!) excess capacity in the auto sector looks like and why that might matter for Micromobility - the top down vs bottom up nature of industry in China, and why the incentives matter. - infrastructure in China - roading vs existing Micromobility- the cultural enablers and disablers for Micromobility in China - and why Micromobility will struggle in the quest for statusIn the meantime. The next Micromobility America conference is now scheduled for the 23rd of September. It'll be at the Craneway in Richmond, across the bay from San Francisco and have more than 50 top speakers from the industry, more than 1000 global participants and 500+ startups and brands represented.

On the heels of the Shanghai Automotive Show, Bill Russo of Automobility joins us for a deep dive on the automotive industry and which types of players are likely to be winners and losers in the biggest global markets - China and the US.

On this episode, Horace joins Oliver on the show to talk about what an entry by Apple into the mobility market would look like, and why a car is perhaps the wrong form factor to be looking at. They talk through the growth prospects for micromobility, and why Apple’s entry into the market would be a meaningful contribution to the world of mobility. This is on the back of Horace’s post ‘Apple Computer’ published on the Micromobility Industries blog recently. Check it out here: https://micromobility.io/blog/2021/1/11/apple-computerSpecifically they dig into: - The parts of the upcoming Micromobility World conference that Horace is most excited about- The size of the car market vs the micromobility market as it currently stands- Where the margins lie- Why Apple has typically entered into industries that are still ‘embryonic’- What a meaningful contribution could look like and what technologies would materially affect the user experience- The constraints of infrastructure on useability and the ‘feel’ of a vehicle- How computation becomes more personal over time, and why that will apply to vehicles too- The revisit Microsoft’s decision in the 90’s to get into the lounge, and why that was the wrong question. - Horace coins the term ‘smartphone-y’Thanks again to the sponsors of this episode, Christensen Group. Christensen Group, a lead player in the micromobility insurance category. As the micromobility space continues to grow around the world with a diverse spectrum of business models, Christensen Group continues to be a leader in the space servicing: e-scooter, moped, motorcycle, e-bike sharing operations along with: subscription & private based programs, manufacturers, AI technology providers and more. They will have a virtual booth at this year’s Micromobility World event on January 27-29. They invite you to stop by and have a chat with them about safety, fundraising, regulatory requirements, and trends in the risk and insurance marketplace, or whatever else is on your mind. They’re also going to have folks from Zagster, ZipCar, Ford Mobility, and others dropping by their booth to discuss litigation trends, regulatory missteps, fundraising and start-up strategies, and more.

Automobiles and their associated infrastructures, deeply embedded in Western cities, have become a rapidly growing presence in the mega-cities of the Global South. Streets, once crowded with pedestrians, pushcarts, vendors, and bicyclists, are now choked with motor vehicles, many of them private automobiles. In Installing Automobility: Emerging Politics of Mobility and Streets in Indian Cities (MIT Press, 2020), Govind Gopakumar examines this shift, analyzing the phenomenon of automobility in Bengaluru (formerly known as Bangalore), a rapidly growing city of about ten million people in southern India. He finds that the advent of automobility in Bengaluru has privileged the mobility needs of the elite while marginalizing those of the rest of the population. Gopakumar connects Bengaluru's burgeoning automobility to the city's history and to the spatial, technological, and social interventions of a variety of urban actors. Automobility becomes a juggernaut, threatening to reorder the city to enhance automotive travel. He discusses the evolution of congestion and urban change in Bengaluru; the “regimes of congestion” that emerge to address the issue; an “infrastructurescape” that shapes the mobile behavior of all residents but is largely governed by the privileged; and the enfranchisement of an “automotive citizenship” (and the disenfranchisement of non-automobile-using publics). Gopakumar also finds that automobility in Bengaluru faces ongoing challenges from such diverse sources as waste flows, popular religiosity, and political leadership. These challenges, however, introduce messiness without upsetting automobility. He therefore calls for efforts to displace automobility that are grounded in reordering the mobility regime, relandscaping the city and its infrastructures, and reclaiming streets for other uses.

The yearly LA Auto Show is about a month away. It's always a must-attend event as the first major car show of the automotive season despite is unique dates near the end of the calendar year. Alexis Evans, the show's communications director, is our guest on Episode #107 of The Weekly Driver Podcast. The Byton all-electric sports car debut at the 2018 LA Auto Show. Image © James Raia/2018 Co-hosts Bruce Aldrich and James Raia discuss this year's show with Evans. The event's public days are scheduled Nov. 22. to Dec. 1 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The location is the multi-floor, multi-hall venue for dozens of manufacturers and the North American or global debuts of their vehicles. With the vastness of the LA Convention Center, the show provides an all-encompassing automotive experience. It's all about entry-level cars, top-end luxury vehicles, the ever-expanding alternative fuel industry, custom made machines and unique concepts. In addition to her communications' responsibilities, Evans also oversees the top-10 start-up competition, Hackathon, for Automobility. It's the four-day press and trade show that precedes the public show. With several halls of new vehicles, Evans shares tips for attending the show. She explains that unlike visiting a car dealership, the public is encouraged to ask manufacturers, sometimes called ambassadors, about the new vehicles. The carmakers' representatives aren't salespeople, but happy to help Evans reminds potential visitors the LA Auto can be a hands-on experience. Test drives are offered by many manufacturers. Several companies have interactive exhibits. The LA Convention Center is located in one of the busiest areas of metropolitan Los Angeles. Evans provides suggestions for parking and well as public transportation. Comprehensive details are available via the website https://laautoshow.com.

Cars promise freedom, autonomy, and above all, movement but leave whole cities stuck in traffic, breathing polluted air, exposed of deadly crashes, and dependent on vast the vast infrastructures of road networks, and oil production. Postcolonial Automobility: Car Culture in West Africa (University of Minnesota Press, 2019) examines the paradoxes and ambivalences of automobility through the lens of West African films, novels, plays, and poems. From the melodramas of Nollywood to the socialist realism of Ousmane Semebene, African artists have delved into the pleasures and anxieties of the road to theorize capitalist development, globalization, patriarchy, and the ethics of accumulation. In this episode of New Books in Anthropology, Lindsey Green-Simms joins host Jacob Doherty to discuss how West African entrepreneurs appropriated colonial technologies, how stalled cars embodied the crises of structural adjustment, and what new, feminist, mobilities and imaginaries emerge from the pages, screens, and stages of West African popular and literary culture. Lindsey Green-Simms is an associate professor of Literature at American University with a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Minnesota. She specializes in post-colonial film and literature with particular emphasis on issues of gender, sexuality, globalization, and mobility. Her work has appeared in Transition, Journal of African Cinemas, Camera Obscura, and the Journal of Postcolonial Writing. She is currently working on a project on African queer cinema. Jacob Doherty is a research associate in urban mobility at the Transport Studies Unit, University of Oxford, and, most recently, the co-editor Labor Laid Waste, a special issue of International Labor and Working Class History.

Automobility Tech, Valeo booth [ '19 CES, 1/10 Thu ]

SEGMENTS | Ben Green, author of "Before His Time" | "Florida Highways" magazine | Automobility and Jim Crow

Today we’re joined by Bill Russo, founder and CEO of Automobility, a strategy and investment advisory firm helping companies navigate the automobile market’s disruptive shift from a vehicle-centric business model focused on hardware ownership to a mobility-centric model focused on services and usership. With more than 15 years’ experience as an automotive executive and 14 years’ experience in China, Russo offers significant insight into China’s auto market and the changes taking place within it. We discuss what this shifting business model means for the auto market, how this trend differs in China from the West, and how it’s impacting foreign auto makers.
