Podcast: Joe Lonsdale: American Optimist Episode: Ep 114: Flying Cars Are About to Change the World — Joby CEO JoeBen BevirtRelease date: 2025-06-04Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationJoeBen Bevirt has spent two decades building electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and now he's on the cusp of commercial approval and rollout. Will flying cars be as transformational as the automobile? How will air taxis impact our cities and the way we live? And how did JoeBen achieve this feat of ingenuity?This week we're joined by the Co-Founder and CEO of Joby Aviation, an American aviation company pioneering eVTOL aircraft for air taxi service. All-electric, virtually silent, and traveling up to 200mph with a pilot and four passengers, Joby is opening new possibilities in the skies above — starting at the price of an Uber Black. The implications for productivity and quality of life are massive, saving the average person an hour or two a day sitting in traffic and unlocking new swaths of land for development.I'm proud that 8VC co-led Joby's first investment round about a decade ago, when many others, even flying enthusiasts, thought it was a pipedream. Since then, Joby has single-handedly shaped an entire new industry, from engineering breakthroughs to regulatory pathways, ensuring that American aviation stays ahead of China. Joby expects its first passenger rides in Dubai within a year and is working closely with the Trump administration as it nears the final stages of FAA approval. Inspired by SpaceX, Joby is vertically integrated and plans to aggressively ramp manufacturing here in the U.S., backed by a $500 million investment from Toyota (bringing Toyota's total investment near $900 million). While we await the first passenger flights, Joby is also building out its infrastructure nationwide — and they're looking for real estate and partners!

https://youtu.be/kpZMVdbBZ7U Bo Abrams, Co-Founder of Kommu, is passionate about creating solutions that empower people to develop a startup and share their homes with trusted friends and communities. We discuss his Marketplace Blueprint framework, which includes recognizing a personal problem, evaluating its impact on others, researching competitors, identifying gaps, and developing a viable business plan. Bo highlights how his own frustrations with the affordability of short-term rentals inspired Kommu's development. By building a platform centered around trust and personal networks, Kommu offers an alternative to traditional short-term rental platforms like Airbnb, making travel more accessible for Millennials and Gen Z renters. --- Develop a Startup With Bo Abrams Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint podcast and my guest today is Bo Abrams, the co-founder of kommu, a connected home sharing and travel platform that links users with their personal network and empowers them to host trusted friends, interest groups and communities in their home on their own terms. Bo, welcome to the show. Steve, thanks so much for having me. Well, that's a really interesting business you have there. So what is your personal “Why” and how do you manifest it in this business or through this business? Yeah, I mean, I would say my personal “Why,” and it really starts with me as an individual, was to say that if I saw an opportunity where I thought there was something that needed to be built that I believed had the potential to go impact the world in that way, that I would go forward and build it and try my best at trying, so to speak. So for me, moving back to what happened, I basically took the GMAT seven times to try to get into business school. I paid for the business school consultants because I didn't get into the great undergrad schools even with great scores and everything else because I didn't run that process. I didn't know how to play the game to get into great colleges. So for business school, I spent all the money I had trying to get in. And I finally got in, ended up going to UCLA. It's where me and my co-founder are from. We're both from LA. We both were supposed to go to other business schools, ironically. Covid hit, we didn't want to leave our families. And right in that moment, I decided to take a trip because I worked so hard to try to get into school and I go to Montana to clear my head, Whitefish, Montana. It was beautiful. And I could only afford four nights in a pretty crappy Airbnb in Montana. And that was half my rent for the month in Los Angeles. And as a renter in LA, I'm not able to list my home on a platform like Airbnb, a short-term rental platform for good reason. And beyond that, at that moment in time, and still today, travel had fundamentally changed. People could now live and work anywhere and the demand for travel in the post-Covid era was surging. And so what did that do? It caused the pricings of these short-term rental platforms to skyrocket. And so, I remember trying to get a car, couldn't find one, we used Turo. I'm thinking, man, if people are able to list their cars in a peer-to-peer marketplace, why can't I do that with my home? And everybody would say, well, that's Airbnb. And I thought, well, that's unacceptable that there's this huge group of users, people like me, that cannot afford Airbnbs now, they're more expensive. They're not the economical version they used to be, and cannot list to recover any value while they're gone. And it's really as if, I say this all the time, it's as if UberX moved to just being Uber Black now, that professionalization problem. So in my case, I go and I meet my co-founder, Gus, in business school, and we were just talking as friends. We were literally talking about how we were remote capable workers at our previous jobs before business school, but that we didn't travel a lot, because, secret's out,

A failed Australian taxi industry disruptor told a court that Uber began illegally operating its ride-sharing service in Australia a decade ago to gain an unfair advantage over competitors. Taxi Apps, an Australian startup that developed taxi-hailing app GoCatch, lodged a 196-page statement of claim in the Victoria state Supreme Court in which it alleges Uber knowingly launched UberX illegally in Australia in 2014. The San Francisco-based rideshare giant was also accused of serious misconduct including corporate espionage and hacking of competitors' systems. The trial is scheduled to last for 10 weeks and comes two weeks after Uber agreed to pay 272 million Australian dollars ($178 million) to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by 8,000 Australian taxi and rental car drivers. The drivers have demanded compensation for losses since Uber landed in Australia in 2012, first with the limousine service Uber Black, followed by the taxi service Uber Taxi, and then the rideshare service UberX without professional drivers.  Taxi Apps lawyer Michael Hodge told the court that Uber lawyers agreed to a statement of facts similar to that behind the class-action settlement. Neither statement of facts has yet to be released by the court. Hodge said Uber got a head start of at least 20 months over its competitors in Australia's emerging transport app market by launching UberX when ride-sharing was illegal in some Australian states.  “Uber is a company that quite deliberately set out to break the law in the hope that they could do it at such mass scale that they would ultimately be able to pressure people to allow them to then operate lawfully, and they did so intending to gain a competitive advantage,” Hodge told the court in opening his case. “They appear to remain completely unrepentant about that and it ought, to pick up the language of exemplary damages, be something that shocks the conscience,” Hodge added. Hodge said if Uber had complied with Australian law, GoCatch would have continued its growth trajectory, accumulated drivers and eventually launched a ride-sharing product when the law allowed. But UberX now dominates the Australian rideshare market and GoCatch, launched in 2014, departed the transport industry in 2021. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Bryan and Jennifer have been dating for four months after meeting on a dating app and for some reason Bryan has noticed that Jennifer has increasingly stopped texting him back or taken forever to respond to him. Last night Jennifer did text Bryan that she was taking an Uber home from going out and even sent him a live photo that she was okay. When Bryan looked at the photo and saw it animate he noticed that she was in an Uber Black, which felt weird to him because she tends to live pretty thrifty when she can. She also heard a male voice in the live photo that didn't seem like it was coming from the driver so he's thinking Jennifer might have actually gone out with a guy instead of her friends.We call Jennifer pretending to work for Uber support and when we ask her about her most recent Uber ride she tells us that she didn't pay for the last Uber she was in and that her client actually paid for it. Find out what‘s really going on in today's all NEW War of the Roses!

Show Notes: Google Fiber Revs Up Its Multi-Gig Speeds to 20Gbps in Newest Field Test |  CNET (01:29)  Google Fiber CEO Dinni Jain announced Tuesday via blog post that 20 gigs is coming, The company achieved a 20.2Gbps download speed in a field test in Kansas City Google Fiber currently offers two plan options: 1-gigabit download speeds for $70 per month and a 2-gig plan for $100 monthly.  cheapest 2Gbps plan among major internet providers CNET reached out to a Google Fiber spokesperson, and was told that more information will be on the way in the coming weeks. No word yet on pricing or when to expect the plan to be available to customers. A 25Gbps speed tier from EPB costs around $1,500 per month According to Google Fiber's CEO this is just the beginning: “In the coming months, we'll have announcements to dramatically expand our multi-gigabit tiers. These will be critical milestones on our journey to 100 Gig symmetrical internet." NASA crashes DART spacecraft into asteroid in world's 1st planetary defense test | Space.com (06:45) For the first time in history, a spacecraft from Earth has crashed into an asteroid to test a way to save our planet from extinction.  Spacecraft: NASA's Double Asteroid Rendezvous Test (DART) probe Asteroid: Dimorphos, 7 million miles (11 million kilometers) from Earth The goal of the mission was to change the orbit of the space rock around its larger asteroid parent Didymos . Trying to test if humanity could deflect a dangerous asteroid if one was headed for Earth. Elena Adams, DART's mission systems engineer, said that “our first planetary defense test was a success”   The golf cart-sized DART (1,320 pounds) spacecraft slammed into the asteroid at 14,000 mph. Would be enough to move the 534-foot-wide (163 meters) Dimorphos a bit faster (10 minutes faster) in its orbit around its parent.  Poses no risk of changing the binary system's orbit to come anywhere near Earth.  The DART mission is the first demonstration of what NASA calls a "kinetic impactor" for planetary defense: crashing a spacecraft into an asteroid to change its orbit. Basic method to protect the Earth if a potentially dangerous asteroid were spotted five or 10 years before a prospective impact.  Angela Stickle, the leader of DART's impact working group, said the team's simulations and models suggest the spacecraft would likely create a crater up to 65 feet (20 m) wide.  Images Show Huge Plume of Debris as NASA Probe Smashes Asteroid  A vast network of ground-based telescopes were trained on the event and will be following the binary Didymos-Dimorphos system over time to see how much faster Dimorphos is now moving in its orbit.  The Era of Fast, Cheap Genome Sequencing Is Here | WIRED (13:35) At an industry event in San Diego today, genomics behemoth Illumina unveiled what it calls its fastest, most cost-efficient sequencing machines yet, the NovaSeq X series. Illumina controls around 80 percent of the DNA sequencing market globally The company believes its new technology will slash the cost to just $200 per human genome while providing a readout at twice the speed. Currently costs $600 for scientists to perform sequencing Sequence 20,000 genomes per year; its current machines can do about 7,500 Francis deSouza, Illumina's CEO, states:  “As we look to the next decade, we believe we're entering the era of genomic medicine going mainstream. To do that requires the next generation of sequencers … We need price points to keep coming down to make genomic medicine and genomic tests available much more broadly.” Stacey Gabriel, chief genomics officer at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, states they have been “waiting for this for a long time.” She continues to talk about the benefits of the new tech: “With greatly reduced costs and greatly increased speed of sequencing, we can sequence way more samples.” A major benefit of cheaper and more efficiency sequencing is increasing the diversity of genomic datasets. Different populations might have different disease-causing genetic variations that are more or less prevalent.  Additionally, by sequencing more genes you can compare and contrast the genetic sequences of a healthy individual and a disordered individual. Allows researchers to see the nuances in their genetic makeup.  Illumina's new system will cost around $1 million, about the same as its existing machines.  The high price tag is a key reason they're not yet common in smaller labs and hospitals, or in rural regions. Startup Says It Can Store 100TB in Nintendo-Like Cartridges | Futurism (20:24) A startup called Folio Photonics is attempting to take over the archival storage market, one Nintendo-ish cartridge at a time. Storage types like tapes, and hard disks are favored by enterprise-scale archiving purposes. Folio claims to offer a cost-effective, incredibly high-performing optical alternative to tapes, hard disks, and DNA storage Just one of their oddly-shaped, multi-layered cartridges can allegedly fit 100 terabytes of data.  100,000 gigabytes, which is nearly three times the storage of the densest Blu-Ray disk CEO Steven Santamaria explains how their tech can hold this much data: “Traditional Blu-ray discs are three or four layers and have been for 20 years (the Archival disc achieves 6 layers by having 3-layers on both sides) ... Our first product will be 8 layers per side, meaning we will have a 16 layer double sided disc." Additionally, the company claims their storage device, unlike hard drive and tape storage,  is "impervious" to electromagnetic disruption, damage from radiation or saltwater, and extreme temperatures  We will end off with more of the CEO talking about the tech: “Our talented engineering team has pioneered a fresh approach to optical storage that overcomes historical constraints and puts unheard of cost, cybersecurity and sustainability benefits within reach … With these advantages, Folio Photonics is poised to reshape the trajectory of archive storage." Why United Airlines is betting $1 billion on flying cars | Emerging Tech Brew (25:12) Investors, startups, and aviation bigwigs have all put billions of dollars toward making that vision a reality with electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) ventures. United Airlines being one of them The company has been an investor in California-based Archer Aviation since the startup was preparing to go public via SPAC in 2021 and also reached a $1 billion deal to buy Archer's eVTOLs last February. An option to purchase an additional $500 million of aircraft.  Archer is building a four-passenger electric aircraft and aims to get it certified by the FAA for use in the US by the end of 2024. This past September, United agreed to buy 200 eVTOL aircraft from Eve Air Mobility. Why are they doing this? Mike Leskinen, president of United Airlines Ventures, told Emerging Tech Brew: “It's about making our airline the airline that customers choose to fly  … A) We want to innovate. And we want to provide that to our customers first B) We have the footprint—the geographic footprint—that makes us the right player C) It decarbonizes that trip to the airport. This is not taking regional aircraft out of the skies, but it is taking cars off the road, many of which will be burning gasoline” eVTOLs could change the way we travel in the long term, with the nearer-term use case of replacing helicopters and serving as a way to get from an urban center to an airport faster. CEO Leskinen talks on the pricing of these eVTOL rides: “They're going to be expensive at first … As you build this product, as you certify this product, there are going to be massive economies of scale. And the cost is going to come down rapidly, to the point where I see a world where—because you get so much more utility out of the aircraft—the cost is no more than using an Uber X. But initially it's going to look like an Uber Black.” The challenging part will be building the infrastructure for air taxis, the “vertiports, ” which could  resemble helipads with charging stations.

I completed 19,002 total rides for Uber across 3.5 years. Did I ever anticipate to do that many rides? No but the lessons I learned along the way helped shape me into who I am today. Uber provided me a platform to pay my bills while trying to build my creative career. I had freedom and the ability to prioritize myself daily which was crucial during this phase of my life. I learned time management as every minute I wasn't driving, it was costing me money. Today I'm going to discuss the 7 lessons I learned from being a top 2% Uber Driver in the world.     Seven lesson I learned from driving 19,002 total rides for Uber 1 : Focus on one ride at a time. Don't get caught up thinking about how many rides you've done up to this point or how many more you may have left to go. Focus on the day ahead.  2 : Make every second of your day count. It may not feel like much in the moment but these small decisions will compound if we correctly make use of the time.  3 : Create space to think because it will provide a lot of answers. When I wasn't chatting with riders or waiting on the side of the road for the next passenger, I was going internal and learning more about myself.  4 : Every person has a story to tell. Don't judge them from the outside looking in, take a moment to get to know them before you make assumptions.  5 : Wealthy people make every dollar count. If they're willing to save $50 on an Uber rather than an Uber Black, they'll do it. They see a dollar as a dollar, regardless of how much they have in the bank.  6 : Finish the job. I learned to let go of the emotions that may impact my decision making and instead focus on what I had set out to accomplish on a given day. 7 : Own your story. Even though I wasn't exactly where I wanted to be, I wasn't afraid to let people know that I was driving Uber full-time while I was building a dream. If anything, I think it made people relate and respect me even more.       Challenge for the listeners  Although you may not be an Uber Driver or you may not be making a living doing what you exactly love or vision yourself doing for the rest of your life, I challenge you to look at whatever you're doing to make money or as your career at the moment and try to finally the value, benefits and lessons you may be learning along the way. This is only going to change your perspective of it and it may honestly make it all that much more enjoyable.     Questions from the SDI Community  Rugtomize : Most memorable ride / customer?  Bri : Did anyone get sick in your car? Jordan Tarver : Best piece of advice you got from a passenger? Luke : Most effective way you spent time learning while on the road? Chole : Did you ever make out with a passenger.

Happy Thursday, Limitless Family! We're going to talk about owning a vehicle this morning. So, this is a question I get asked on a weekly basis. “Clint, why don't you own a car?” Well, in 2018 after getting out of the military, I thought it was really smart to take out four credit cards which were all maxed out by 2020. This took my credit to about a 438. Fast forward to now, we're on our way back up to an 800 by sometime next year. Debts are being paid off. Business credit is being established where I will be able to purchase my dream car using business credit, also writing it off as a tax write-off at 50%. I've learned that patience is a virtue which is something my dad has always taught me, which I never listened until early this year. Hard-headed to say the least. Let me give you some stats about owning a vehicle compared to an Uber. Car maintenance. This will depend on the make and age of your vehicle, but AAA estimates car owners will spend around $1,186 each year. The most expensive states average to $1,824. You pay an average of $7,929 to fuel your vehicle assuming you drive at least 10,000 miles per year, so owning a car can set you back at least around $11,000. Now, Uber Black on the other hand, coming in at 80 cents per mile, assuming you'll travel 10,000 miles per year, you'll pay about $8,000 per year, making Uber slightly cheaper. You can say I'm learning a big lesson on credit for the mean time but thanks to Kevin Faulkner and Jose Rodriquez, credit won't be an issue this time next year. I want you to start thinking long-term. Short thinking leads to short results. Guys, if this uplifts you, inspires you, and motivates you, all I ask is you share this with your friends, family, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, all over the place — because we want to make this the number one inspiration podcast every single morning you listen to it. Guys, have an amazing day and LIVE LIMITLESS!

I denne episode skal du præsenteres for Oslo artisten, DJ'en og produceren Darkowa. Phylis Boateng står bag Darkowa og har i en del år været en fast del af Oslo scenens kyndige DJs under navnet TELEFONGRL. Med kun to foreløbige singler, Uber Black og Provider viser Darkowa sin mikstur af elektronisk musik, afropop og r'n'b, der skaber fundamentet for hendes vanedannende bangers. I sit udtryk bærer hun store shades, lang læderjakke og store platform sko, der tilsammen skaber mystikken, der lader publikum blive lokket ind i hendes liveunivers.Eftersom en lydprøve gik en smule galt tog Pittens vært, Aleksandra, en redaktionel beslutning om at give Phylis plads og ro til at komme i game mode til hendes Vill Vill Vest koncert inde i spillestedshuset Kvarteret på Tivoli scenen. I stedet mødes de nu til en dagen-der-på kaffe ved Bergen kaffebaren Blom.Vi skal finde ud af, hvad Phylis lærte af sin Vill Vill Vest koncert, og hvorfor hun er så betaget af ravecations.

Before becoming VP of Growth at Knox Financial, Matt was employee #33 at Uber. There, he was the first Operations and Logistics Manager for Boston, where he launched and scaled Uber Black, TAXI, SUV, and uberX before leading the Operations & Logistics Analytics and Process sub-teams from 2011 through 2013. When it comes to building capacity as you grow, Matt...knows some things. Special thanks to our Producer, Rebecca Lawrence.

Pindel Global Precision entered 2020 making no ventilator parts for its customers. The New Berlin-based precision machining manufacturer exited the year having made thousands of parts for five customers. Bill Berrien, chief executive officer of Pindel, and his team were among the companies that moved quickly as the COVID-19 pandemic hit to find a way to contribute. The experience led Berrien to start a new venture in addition to Pindel called PRODx, short for Production Expediting Technologies. The idea behind PRODx is fairly simply. Buyers at larger manufacturers will turn to PRODx when they run into issues with their existing supply chains. PRODx will then take the order to a network of machining companies, ask them to quote it and then return it to the buyer, ideally fulfilling what Berrien describes as the buyer’s “hair-on-fire” need. Berrien joined associate editor Arthur Thomas on the BizTimes MKE Podcast to discuss his new venture, the inspiration it draws from Uber Black and his time in the Navy SEALs, and how it fits into a larger vision for manufacturing in the U.S.

This episode we review "Dark Boat" by Uber Black and "Separations" by Diarrhea Planet. Larson is STILL in quarantine and we discuss how livestreams fatigue is a real thing. Cover big time, the big news that Live Nation has now made it SUPER difficult for artist to play live for the foreseeable future

Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations. Today's topic is "Uber Taxi Service Comes to Tokyo" Uber is now offering taxis in Tokyo after six years of being in Japan. People in Tokyo could already use the company's food delivery service, Uber Eats, and taxis could be booked with the Uber app in some other Japanese cities, including Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima. Until now, people looking for a ride with Uber in Tokyo could only use its "Uber Black" service, which offers rides in luxury black cars driven by professional drivers for a higher price than a taxi. But Uber is now working with three normal taxi businesses in Tokyo: Hinomaru Limousine Co., Tokyo MK Corp. and Ecosystem. Together, they are making 600 cars available in some of the city's busiest areas. However, Uber's car sharing services are still banned, because only professional drivers are allowed to carry paying customers in Japan. This means that people cannot sign up to be drivers with their own cars as they do in the US and other countries. TimeOut writes that Uber Taxi will make it easier for non-Japanese speakers to get taxis in Tokyo. It will also let people share information about their journey with friends and family so they can know when they will arrive. Japan is the second-largest taxi market in the world, according to Bloomberg. But most people still get a taxi by flagging one down on the street, and apps are used for less than 5% of the rides.

Craig Douglas is a man I've heard so much about over the past few years. So when he agreed to join us for this year's protector symposium, I was very excited. For all of us! His training cadre Shivworks of which he is the lead instructor specializes in a specific type of training that I think is extremely important for executive protection professionals And, for civilians as well. Learning to fight in very tight spaces is what they are all about and if you ask me, this game has much higher stakes, is faster moving and is less forgiving than your conventional 15-foot gunfight that is trained more often at the range. This is the Formula One of gunfighting and weapon implementation. Can you still employ your weapon when there's flesh on flesh, bone on bone and meet on meat contact with your enemy? Can you still operate when you can smell his breath and he's bleeding/sweating in your eyes mouth and everything else? Do you think your range Regiment and self-defense training would hold up against a dynamic combat engagement where you are already entangled with a determined enemy? In these days of Uber Black, Lift, elevators and JetSuiteX we find ourselves sharing space with unknown individuals more often than not. For the security professional, working in crowds in tight spaces and close proximity to other humans is no foreign or strange event. Keeping in mind the reality that every physical altercation you find yourself in when you have a deadly weapon on your person is a life-threatening physical altercation… Who doesn't need to know more about this art form/discipline? Craig Douglas is a man I respect, he is a master of his craft, values being a consummate gentleman, talks about healthy masculinity, he has aged like wine, and he is an “adaptable” I don't think there's enough that is said these days about the importance and power of being adaptable. In my opinion, fluid intelligence is the most powerful intelligence in every way and by teaching good people how to raise their fluid intelligence quotient to his system; I believe Craig Douglas is truly doing some valuable work with regards to making the world a safer place by making good people more dangerous. This episode was fantastic to record, and I know you will feel that too as you are listening. I look forward to working with him in order to bring you all high-quality content for this year's protector symposium and I know you'll enjoy this episode.

Lusso Della Terra may mean "Luxury of the Land" but you certainly don't have to be rolling up in the Uber Black service to be able to afford their wines! We loved the down to earth feel of the tasting room and the co-owner, Megan, as well as the value of their hospitality experience. Their $15 tasting fee includes the typical flight of wine, cheese pairing with all of the wines, AND a tour of the facilities - if you choose to take them up on it (which you should). We hope this episode gives you the details on the need to knows of this stop in East Paso! Happy Tasting! -Jamie & Chenise

PIDEN RESPETO A CHERNOBYL. El aumento en el número de visitantes, incluidos algunos que posan en poco más que una tanga, hace que el autor del éxito de HBO hable El escritor de la aclamada serie dramática de HBO, Chernobyl, habló sobre la proliferación de selfies lascivos e inapropiados tomados por los turistas que visitan el lugar del desastre nuclear en Ucrania. Desde que comenzó a emitirse en mayo la miniserie de cinco partes sobre la catástrofe de 1986 en la antigua planta de energía de la Unión Soviética, el turismo en el sitio ha aumentado entre un 30 y un 40%. Las personas influyentes de los medios sociales que visitan el sitio han sido objeto de críticas en los últimos días por utilizar un interés renovado en el desastre para realizar tomas de glamour para sus cuentas de Instagram. BBC LOS DEPORTISTAS MEJOR PAGADOS. Más allá del éxito deportivo, Forbes anunció el listado de los deportistas que más ganancias generaron en el último año, y el que encabeza el ranking es Lionel Messi, que según la publicación tuvo ganancias por 127 millones de dólares. En la segunda colocación se ubicó Cristiano Ronaldo. El número 7 de la Juventus y el seleccionado de Portugal acumuló 109 millones de dólares. En el tercer lugar terminó Neymar Jr. con 105 millones de dólares en ganancias, subiendo 15 lugares. La lista de los primeros cinco deportistas que más dinero acumularon la completan el boxeador mexicano Canelo Álvarez, que en octubre de 2018 firmó el contrato más lucrativo en la historia del pugilismo: 11 peleas y 365 millones de dólares con la plataforma de streaming DAZN. El quinto puesto quedó para Roger Federer, que gracias a sus contratos con sus patrocinadores (más del 90 por ciento de sus ingresos) pasó la barrera de los 90 millones de dólares de ganancia.   FORBES   FIILTRACIÓN MASIVA DE TARJETAS EN CHILE. Ha pasado poco más de un año desde el ciberataque que sufrió Banco de Chile, donde le robaron US$10 millones. Luego iniciaron una seguidilla de filtraciones de bases de datos de tarjetas de crédito en el país. Ahora Redbanc reportó a la Comisión para el Mercado Financiero (CMF) una nueva filtración que abarca 41.593 tarjetas de crédito y débito de 13 instituciones, pero no es como las demás filtraciones que ha habido hasta ahora: Redbanc está investigando a uno de sus proveedores por el robo de esta información. LA TERCERA   INTERCAMBIO DE INSULTOS. El presidente Trump y el candidato presidencial Joe Biden intercambiaron insultos mientras ambos visitaban Iowa (un estado de cambio anticipado). El ex vicepresidente Biden es visto como uno de los principales candidatos. Mientras tanto, faltan dos semanas para el primer debate primario demócrata, y ahora sabemos quién será moderador: Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow y José Díaz-Balart. Diez candidatos subirán al escenario cada noche los días 26 y 27 de junio.   UNIVISION   ANTIMONOPOLIO. Big Tech está de vuelta en el asiento caliente cuando el Congreso comienza su propia investigación antimonopolio. Los legisladores de ambos lados del pasillo están preocupados por cómo la industria de la tecnología ha afectado a la industria de las noticias. Grandes grupos de medios han dicho que gigantes tecnológicos como Facebook y Google han obligado a los periódicos a cerrar o reducir sus operaciones a medida que las empresas tecnológicas obtienen más de los dólares de publicidad. Google dice que no es el tipo malo en todo esto, ya que las búsquedas envían miles de millones de clics a los sitios web de los editores.   EL PERIODICO   PAGA POR TUS DATOS. Facebook quiere pagarte por los datos de tu celular. La compañía de tecnología creó una nueva aplicación llamada Study, donde les paga a las personas monitorear cómo usan sus teléfonos. Además, Facebook está invirtiendo en energía solar. La compañía se está asociando con un desarrollador de energía renovable para construir lo que se cree que es uno de los proyectos solares más grandes de la nación. Estará en el oeste de Texas y se espera que esté en funcionamiento el próximo año. UNOCERO   TOMATE UN HELICÓPTERO UBER. Uber presentó ayer su prototipo de taxi aéreo eléctrico. Tiene capacidad para cuatro pasajeros y parece un híbrido avión-helicóptero. Vuela libre de emisiones a 150 millas por hora. Los taxis aéreos de Uber costarán aproximadamente lo mismo que un viaje en Uber Black, y eventualmente podrían ser más económicos que tener un auto. La compañía espera tener sus taxis aéreos despegados para 2023 en Los Ángeles, Dallas y Melbourne, Australia.   UNOCERO   CIERRAN AMAZON RESTAURANTES. Amazon está cerrando su servicio de entrega de restaurantes. Se suponía que los restaurantes de Amazon competirían con los gustos de Uber Eats, pero falló después de cuatro años y cerrará en dos semanas. Los expertos dicen que probablemente fracasó porque nadie lo sabía. TELEMUNDO   NUEVO PHISHING. El phishing siempre se relacionó con los correos electrónicos, pero en los últimos años los ciberdelincuentes fueron cambiando la estrategia. Se mudaron a Instagram y al sector bancario. Kaspersky Lab confirma este cambio de escenario en su nuevo informe sobre los ataques de Spam y Phishing en el primer trimestre de 2019. La popular red social de fotografía está llena de comentarios, cuentas falsas y publicaciones publicitarias que buscan engañar y aprovecharse de los usuarios. Ya lo dicen los expertos, la clave para no caer en uno de estos engaños es desconfiar y no entrar en ningún enlace que encontremos en un correo electrónico si verificar. TELAM   HUELGAS EN BRASIL. Sin que la pelota haya empezado a rodar, la Copa América ya tiene una primera amenaza que alerta al mega operativo de seguridad planeado para el torneo.  A pesar de los problemas futbolísticos que respectan a Brasil, como la inesperada baja de Neymar, la gran preocupación pasa por lo que ocurrirá fuera de las canchas...¿Qué reclaman? La Unión Nacional de Estudiantes (UNE) brasileña convocó a la protesta contra el gobierno de Jair Bolsonaro, quien irá a ver el primer partido de la Copa América, por los recortes presupuestarios promovidos en materia educativa y la eliminación de programas sociales. También reclaman por la liberación del expresidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

This is Episode 5 and it's being recorded Friday, March 29th, 2019. About a year ago, someone I knew in the industry was texting me feverishly. He was at the Center for Auto Research trade show in Detroit and he kept saying, “Scot, there's a speaker here and you have got to talk to this guy. He is saying a lot of the same stuff that you are pretty passionate about, and he has great sites.” So here we are, a year later, and I'm really excited to welcome to the show, the VP of Marketing and Alliances at Ridecell, Mark Thomas. Welcome Mark. Mark: [01:28] Thanks Scot. Scot: [01:29] Cool. So Mark, let's start off by going over your career path. How did you end up in the world of mobility? Mark: [01:36] It's a interesting, My career has been pretty much full time in silicon valley and just starting off with the desktop revolution and apple, the Internet revolution with Netscape, and the mobile revolution for many years at Nokia. And my last few years at Nokia I was part of the, the here division, the maps division where automotive was a really big part of it and realized that this is a chance to really connect some of my passions, which are leading edge technology and my love for vehicles. So after some time at Cisco heading up their connected car initiatives within the marketing organization, I joined Ridecell as the head of marketing and alliances. Scot: [02:23] Cool. So you're a hardcore consumer electronics guy. I always like to ask, how many CESs have you gone to? Mark: [02:30] You know, they do tend to blur, but probably over the course of several decades. Scot: [02:35] Cool. Mark: [02:35] I love how CES though has become car electronics show. It's great. It has really out there. Yeah. They're having to move the Detroit auto show, from the week after to sometime in the summer because it was just to becoming too competitive. Scot: [02:52] Yeah, it is funny. So we've had, you know, I don't think 20 years ago we would have guessed that cs is the one show that would survive all the, you know, we used to have the computer shows and then the software shows and we even had internet shows and a CES is been kind of the, the, the survivor of all. That's pretty amazing. Mark: [03:11] Yeah. I've got to say I don't miss COMDEX. Scot: [03:14] Yeah. Yeah. Me either. Standing in lines for like eight hours to see Bill Gates give a 10 minute little thing about some, some new gadget. Mark: [03:23] Hey, I think I was there. Scot: [03:25] Cool. So let's, let's, let's learn more about Ridecell. Obviously it was you saw something really amazing there to come from a lot of these really big brands and do a startup. Tell us a little bit of the history of the company and, and what Ridecell does. Mark: [03:40] We were founded in 2009 in the Atlanta area, a great place to find wonderful tech engineers, great talent. Definitely though there was a shortage of capital out there, when the company was looking to raise some VC money, so they uprooted the founding team and moved out here to San Francisco. About two years later started one of the first ride hailing companies called summon. Right up there in the beginning days with, with Uber and Lyft. I think that the company had about 2,500 drivers, working in the San Francisco Bay area. And you know, as the company was looking at, you know, where this market's going to go and think there's the understanding that this is going to be massive race to raise capital and expands. And rather than being, you know, the third company pushing in, ride hailing, the intent was to become the first company to offer a white labeled end to end platform or other companies that needed to get into the ride hailing or in the future car sharing businesses. Scot: [04:54] So I've made a career of building companies that sell pickaxes and not, not, you know, doing the digging. So, so I think that's a good strategy. So if we flash forward to the day, I kind of think of you guys as mobility in a box. So, obviously if I wanted to start a ride sharing company, I could use your software but, but I think there's a lot more interesting use cases there. Can you share with us some of the ways people are using the platform that, that maybe you didn't think of it originally? Mark: [05:19] Yeah. Let's, let me take the first part of that, which is Ridecell provides. we, we have a full shared mobility cloud. And in the same way that, you know, back in the day since we're reminiscing, people would create their websites by buying sandboxes and getting some rack mount space and screwing them in with load balancers and really have to take control of the entire hosting and domain as a differentiator. Now nobody does that. Everybody just uses AWS or Google cloud or Microsoft Azure. We're the equivalent for that. And the shared mobility space, you know, having the benefit of having been in a pure play software company since 2009, we focused on building a complete share mobility clouds so that if somebody wants to create a ride hailing service or a car sharing service or a dealer based test drive service or you know, a hotel, car rental service, all of those things can be easily started using the Ridecell mobility cloud and then, you know, then the companies can, can focus on building their differentiation on top of what we offer. Mark: [06:44] So it's very much all of the underlying bits and pieces that really allow you to create a service which, you know, it's taken us years of expertise to, to form. We've got about 150 people working on the company and over a hundred of them are engineering and QA teams. So it's it's a bit of an undertaking to really make it easy to use and easy to launch a service. Scot: [07:11] Awesome. Are there any examples you can share of companies and how they've used the cloud? Mark: [07:16] Absolutely. Companies that, that like to work with us are those companies that realize they will need to transform or risk becoming the next Blockbuster Video. And so the, for instance, the Automobile Club. If private vehicle ownership goes away, then do we really need an automobile club? And I think that their view is maybe not. So the AAA of northern California, I came to us and said, look, we'd like to have a product relevant to millennials, people who don't own cars. Mark: [07:56] And so they, within six months they were able to launch a new brand called Gig. Sort of stands for, you know, they marketed as "get in and go." It's a car sharing service and it's the modern kind of car sharing service. I think in North America when we think of car share, we think of Zipcar and the little signs behind it. It says Zipcar lives here and you reserve it ahead of time and you walk down to it and then use it for your errands. But you always have to bring it back to the station and you have to bring it back on time or subject to those potential late fees. The modern style of car sharing is one which is called free floating or some time in people call it one way car sharing so that you can walk to the car, get in it, drive to your destination, park it and park it in a residential zone, parking in a meter. Mark: [08:51] Typically it doesn't matter because these cars generally have all access parking passes for a city. And so with Gig, they have the ability to you know, walk up to a car, unlock it, get in, drive, park it. They can even park it in a metered spot as long as it's not one of those like, you know, 20 minutes green meter zones and then leave the car and the next person that's downtown shopping and see is it pops in it and takes it and drives it. So it's a much more convenient way to use use car sharing. and you know, it's something that's really allowed them to create a product line that, has become very successful. They started with 250 cars, now they're up to 600 cars in the San Francisco Bay area. Then you know, they've gone from two cities, Berkeley and Oakland to five, now they're alive and Berkeley, Oakland, Alameda, and then San Francisco as well. The first free floating car sharing company to get a permit for San Francisco. So it's, you know, this is really exciting times is the city governments or figuring out the real value of using car share services. Then of course the next horizon is in creating services that aren't for internal combustion engine cars, but for EVs and it's really the electric vehicle may become the real hero use case for carshare fleets. Scot: [10:21] Very cool. I'm curious. So if you, you're really good at kind of branding some of these things. So, if what Gig has built is a one way car sharing, what do you kind of think of Zipcar? What does that kind of like traditional or old school ridesharing? How are you, how are you thinking about that? Mark: [10:37] So in North America, many of the zip cars are still using a model called station-based car-sharing and that's where it has a station and lives and, and there's definitely some benefits to a station-based. You can reserve a car ahead of time, free floating car sharing where the cars could be anywhere at any time. It's a very hard to reserve a car. Normally it's an on demand. I need a car, find me the nearest one, put a hold on it for up to 30 minutes so I can walk there. The station-based, which we support both station-based and free floating. We believe there's actually, if you have a fleet of vehicles, it's best to have some of each that you know, in apartment buildings where people move in and they see maybe there's eight or 10 cars parked in the garage that permanently or station there. Mark: [11:29] People who live in the buildings are able to, you know, check them out or rent them, or use them for their errands and it's natural for them to come back and park it back in the parking garage. So station-based is a great addition to a free floating car sharing base, which is kind of one of the first insights that I think we have four companies that are doing these shared mobility fleets, which is you need to be able to support multiple different kinds of business models to get the most out of your fleet. And you know, one way at the station-based or both in different business models that can be applied to one fleet of vehicles. Scot: [12:09] Very cool. so I think that's awesome and it gives us a really good idea of, of what you guys are building at Ridecell and definitely want to hit on more. I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. But here on the podcast we have a framework where, you know, we call it the vehicle 2.0 framework and we talk about connectivity, new ownership models, electrification and autonomous. you're obviously really deep into the ownership world. How do you think, you know, one of the reasons, you know, my friend was texting me a year ago was that you, you have some interesting thoughts around, ownership and how that's going to change. What's your projections for when, you know, we start to feel in the industry, the, this move from the individual owner to kind of more of a fleet kind of ownership model. Mark: [12:56] If I could take this slightly off topic from the question for a minute. Scot: [12:56] Sure. Mark: [13:01] I think it's interesting. So just want to talk about the vehicle 2.0, I mean, the entire intent of your podcast. What's interesting is that this a combination of four things connected, shared, electric and autonomous, is ending up with a whole number of different acronyms. And I think there's, you know, CASE: connected, autonomous, shared, electric is one that's kind of leading the pack, but then you've got another form I think like the folks in Daimler or pushing ACES, which is you know, autonomous, shared, electric, connected. And, and in many ways, when I, when I was giving that speech, last year, traverse city. You know, my commentary on this is that, you know, if we try and label it as an acronym or a name, it almost makes these things, it doesn't do enough justice to what's happening in the industry. Mark: [14:09] And right now these, you know, connected is a foregone conclusion. I almost think that, yeah, vehicle connectivity done, we can check that one off the list. So it really comes down to these three major disruptions, any one of which is incredibly powerful. So it's, to me it's the triple disruption of shared mobility as as a massive way and shared mobility is disrupting, certainly. How people get around in cities, the ability for people to not have to own a car and you know, the downside of taking Uber's and lifts exclusively everywhere is that it's expensive because you're paying for the overhead of the driver. You know, electric is this transformational change in how we build a vehicle that will dramatically disrupt the value chain? these vehicles barely need to be maintained. certainly no, you know, lube jobs that go in here, and there are so much better for the environment yet the, you know, the whole difficulty associated with electric vehicles is that you have to have a charger. Mark: [15:30] You know, we're either where you live or where you work or where you shop. And that's a whole massive, expensive, difficult infrastructure. You know, my friends who live in apartment buildings are like, there's no, I'd love an E-vehicle, but there's just no charges and how am I going to get the building per person to put it in. The pudding shared E-vehicle fleets is really cuts the whole Gordian knot of having to solve, putting infrastructure where people live and own their vehicles. Because these vehicles can now free float around in the city and when their battery levels get low, they can be taken offsite and can be used, can be cleaned and charge. And with the range of you know, the new leaf or the Chevy bolt or the ring, no Zoe vehicles, these, you know, we're in the 200 plus mile range, which means for a typical car sharing customer, they're able to take the cars out of service probably once every three days. Mark: [16:35] I usually in the middle of the night, and you know, bring them to a depot, recharge them and get them back on the streets. And then, you know, when you look at these shared, the fleets having, you know, if to put them to use in ride hailing scenario, it's still means there is a driver in there. And if autonomous without sharing, if we really think about it, it's, you know, primarily a really fancy cruise control for rich people because these cars are going to be very expensive. So the autonomous revolution doesn't actually change many people's lines until the technology becomes adopted and shared, shared mobility. And that's the point at which rather than offering a ride for $2 a mile, when you take the cost of the driver out of the equation, and they're generally about 70% of the total cost of offering a ride, you could get the price per mile down to say 40 cents a mile. Mark: [17:42] And that is the point at which it's considerably cheaper than using your own vehicle. Most statistics are that it's between 65 and 70 cents a mile to drive your own car somewhere. And that includes your licensing, your insurance keeping, you know, obviously the fuel, you know, keeping it clean, parking, huge expenses in urban areas, paying for parking. And so, you know, when it's okay if I'm going to spend 75 cents a mile on my own car or 40 cents a mile on, on a ride and I can do something other than drive on my way there, this is, that's the tipping point. That's the inflection point that we'll have people deciding not to renew their leases will have people in urban centers selling their cars going, I can now depend on this. And it's, it's, it's dramatic how, how much this will not just change our lives, but how transformative this will be to the entire value chain of businesses who depend upon private vehicle ownership as their primary source of value in the world. Scot: [18:53] Let's put some, so I kind of used the metaphor that it's kind of like four waves that, you know, individually, you know, their waves, but you know, like any wave form, they kind of stack on top of each other, right? So we've got connected car feels like, I think we agreed that's, that's coming. It's kind of here today. these new ownership models are kind of another wave that's rising. and then it feels like EV is kind of, you know, we're starting to see like, like Tesla is the top selling car in its category right now in China. You're starting to see EVs outsell a internal combustion vehicles. and then it feels like AV, that's the one that's harder to kind of know when that's coming because we kind of went through a hype cycle and now we're in like that trough of digital disillusionment a little bit at CES this year, there was a lot more very specific use cases versus the generic kind of use cases. What kind of timeframes do you put on these things kind of coming out and really impacting each other? Mark: [19:50] Yeah, great observations. I'm really, the long pole in the tent is is AV. When we, I think when we think about what's necessary in, in an Av, people tend to overstate what required for us to make this transformation. I think level five or the classic the car can do whatever a human driver can do is years and years and years off a level four, which really is within a geo fenced area. You know, some, you know, downtown part of the city. Ah, urban speeds. So the, the, the slower the car drives, the easier it is for the autonomous systems to work within, you know, predefined driving rules. Okay. Don't make any left turns or you're going to go ride all the time to get around that. That can be done and deployed, within probably within four years in cities that have very good clear road markings and, don't have a lot of inclement weather. Mark: [21:05] So we've already seen, you know, it's, it's essentially deployed now if you'll look at a Waymo and what they're doing to roll out their, their service, the Waymo one, but in terms of getting, you know, some other vehicles, crews, we have our own autonomous driving initiative called Aro. You know, at that point, once you get autonomous driving, the long pole in the tent won't be getting vehicles that can safely drive around. It will be getting permits from the cities to operate an autonomous ride hailing service. You saw this with the whole a scooter getting here in San Francisco were, you know, Lime and bird and everybody flooded the city with these scooters and there was chaos and the city, you know, this said, you have a week to take them all off the streets. We're going to have a process by which you're gonna, you're going to bid for one of these licenses. Mark: [22:04] And we're going to pick the winner. And they'd pick two, one of whom was a company which has already been operating and mopeds sharing in San Francisco. The city knew them. They were like, we want to reward you for being a company that collaborates with us. I mean, you know, the history of excellent cooperation and that that's going to pay off. So the are insight to companies that are looking to capitalize and prepare themselves. Four, the autonomous shared mobility revolution is to get into the business now with car sharing, establish the relationships with the cities, so that you are a great company to work with. And when those licenses come out that are going to be available to a limited number of companies to offer autonomous ride hailing, we think those companies are going to be first in line to be issued the permits to switch from, I'm driven to driverless. Scot: [23:04] It's interesting that you're taking kind of a regulatory regulatory approach versus a you can have the best technology, but if you're not going to be permitted, what does it matter? I hadn't thought through that. Mark: [23:14] You know. And the other piece that I think, most people haven't thought about is there are applications or autonomous that don't involve driving people around. And in particular, you know, one of the, one of the big expenses of operating a car sharing fleet. These vehicles, you know, don't have a driver like an Uber or Lyft driver that's responsible for them. And so when they're parked and something, you know, the check engine light comes on, they're low on gas, they need to be recharged. Typically what happens is the company has to send out and pay for a driver to go to the car and move it in. Those con those can cost, you know, 20, $25 for each time the car needs to have somebody get in it and move it around. The, the test driving permits, can probably be used for late night operations where there was no passenger inside the cars, you know, driving itself from two to four in the morning, you know, drives itself out through a supercharger, you know, the car gets wiped out. Mark: [24:26] Yes, recharge and then, you know, move back onto the streets in a place where the customer demand is likely to be highest. We call that fleet rebalancing. When you've got a car that's parked in a and a zone that we think, wow, there's not a lot of demand there. History will show it's going to be cars. Gonna wait there eight hours until somebody needs it. We can move it right by the train station, right by one of the subway stations. And we find that this car is going to pick it up within the next 45 minutes. So being able to automate, you know, fleet rebalancing, cleaning maintenance runs and use the autonomous technology for that purpose, is a great first step into getting experience with autonomous technology for these fleet owners without having to go straight from a fleet of cars that drivers drive to suddenly now you're using them. Live for eponymous ride sharing. Mark: [25:22] We call that autonomous car sharing. And at some point, even if there is no license for autonomous ride hailing, we think that the autonomous technology could be used for per car hailing. You know one of the drawbacks of car sharing is you've got to walk to the car and then when you're done, you've got to find parking. If you were to apply autonomous technology and let the car drive itself to where the customer is, and then that person gets in, gets behind the wheel and drives wherever they're going, then they get out in the car and goes and parks itself or it goes on to the next customer. You're not doing autonomous ride hailing, you're just automating the delivery of the vehicle. So this is a new category of, of service called car hailing. And we think that this is one which is again, probably another interim phase, but you know, life is made by identifying the interim phases and being the, the customer who best adapts to where we are in the cycle. Scot: [26:26] It's like when I go to the grocery store now frequently on instacart, people in there or Postmates people. So I'm envisioning I'm driving around at night and all the cars that are driving around, they don't have drivers. It's going to be going to be a fun and exciting world to live in, in the future. so when do you, so do you have a point of view on when we can get, a lot of people think one of the first phases is going to be trucking, right? So, so AVs doing some of these long haul routes that you really don't need a person, therefore, do you agree that's going to be another one of the first uses of AVs. And you think that's also kind of in that three to four year horizon? Mark: [27:05] I think companies like telecon and others really focused on a very specialized use case. I don't see that is replacing the driver. I see that as being able to offer, more efficient driving because the platooning and the ability to talk in very closely, you know, behind another truck really allows you to draft and save a considerable amount of fuel expenses. You know, those use cases are things that people have been working on for quite some time. The, you know, the, the use of autonomous, almost like a tram where it has its own protected lanes and it, it's an unattended brain if you were driving and stopping for two minutes at everyone. I think those types of shuttles are also some of the near term, use cases that take away the issues of having to deal with, you know, making decisions on how to reroute itself during, you know, traffic jams and how to avoid pedestrians and the like, because it's a much simpler model where it just runs on a track and it goes around in circles. so we think when we, we see, we hear a may mobility and they've got, you know, deployment and Detroit where it goes, you know, six city blocks, around that, around those are also, I think relatively straight forward. compared to the where we think the end goal is, which is having cars be able to drive, not just on a fixed route but point the point. use it for pooling and really replace a human driver. Scot: [28:59] Even kind of more near term. I've seen projections, we saw about 17 million cars a year in the US right now and it's kind of, you know, pretty flat and then a lot of projections are for this year, that we're going to be down for the first time due to some of these changing ownership models is that. Do agree with that or do you think it's going to take the AV innovation to really get to where we see the, the whole thing flip? Mark: [29:25] Well, it really depends upon who's a model that you're referencing there. I've seen it anywhere from being flat to a flight growth to, to the diminishing growth. The thing that nobody reports on is not the total projected vehicle sales year by year for the next 10 years. It's the customer mix of the vehicle sales over the next 10 years. And what, when you really inspect who's going to be buying these cars somewhere between 20, 25 and 20, 30 in north American urban areas, more than half of the cars sold. Well we sold to mobility service providers. That is the transformative change. And you know, 10 years from now, it'll be 80% of those vehicles are going to be sold into mobility service providers, which means that those are the companies that are going to have huge buying power. there'll be the ones that'll be ordering the vehicles bespoke for their, their business purpose and, and the brands will start to become much less relevant to customers. In the same way that when you order an Uber or Lyft, you're identifying as an Uber or a Lyft person, not a Prius passenger because you have no control over what that vehicle is. So the, the relevance of, of car brands diminishes greatly once, like customers choosing which a mobility service to youth as opposed to which vehicle brand to buy. Scot: [31:20] That's interesting. And I'm sure scary for, for the brands up there. And, and, you know, I've been to this ecommerce change and, it, it's been quite disruptive as I'm sure you've seen there with retailers. you know, now the brands are kind of going around retailers. It's sometimes hard to predict how these things will shake out. But, let's, let's say it is 20, 30, and you know, we've got a majority of people in urban areas now not owning a car directly and they're using these different formats. It's, it seems like a lot of people are, obviously kind of trying to win that battle. You've got the rental car companies, they all kind of feel like they're going to have a role in that. And, and you know, their, their argument is they're already kind of doing it now, which is a fair argument. You've got the, the dealer OEMSs, you've got some of these other mobility players like a Cox in a car. you have some of these innovative new models, like obviously Uber, Lyft, but then there's Turo get around and then some of the subscription guys. W where do you think all this kind of shakes out? Like do all these companies survive and they have a role or, or is it, is it kind of a existential crisis time for some of them? Mark: [32:24] I think there is, that is not a mutually exclusive scenario. I think there's roles for companies that proactively work to transform themselves. if you look at like talk thought motive, who, who have a belief that, you know, their primary business is servicing dealers and you know, they, they formed their pivot division, which is now designed to offer services to shared mobility fleet providers and understanding, you know, when companies get into the business, we believe those that have a predisposition to action as opposed to kind of a wait and see approach are those who were going to be getting the most learnings and be able to, to put together the most relevant product. you know, I think that looking at the end state, most of the people I talked to when they think of, of shared mobility and, and these robo taxis kind of feel like, well, okay. Mark: [33:29] And in the future, it's going to be like it is today. There's going to be you know, an Uber, kind of the number one player in terms of market share and metal lift, the up and comer, you know, the Hertz and Avis, essentially offering, you know, undifferentiated experiences, which is what they have today. I mean the cars are driven by people in their private owners and you can't really judge one service of the other by the quality of the car. But in the future, once the autonomous vehicles have really become established and there isn't a need for a safety driver and, and the cabin is, is designed for sharing. I think what we'll see is that people, people will start to choose their, their ride based upon the experience that they look to get out of the time that they're in the vehicle. Mark: [34:28] If you take people that will be commuting in these cars, you'll first off the, you may want to choose WeWork branded car. You want to seek, that's got essentially a soundproof wall between you and the other passengers. A 5G connection with a video camera, a desk, you know, one 10 power if you're in North America, place to plug in. And so you can essentially turn that commute time. when you're, you know, sitting an hour in a car into a time where you can lead a conference call. do you know, do work at the desk. And then, maybe after a long day at work, you want to take the, the Netflix card home and you just jump in it, it's a comfy or see it, a little more relaxed position. You've got surround sound and you know, best of all the big screen that's in front of you turns itself on and, and starts where you left off. Mark: [35:27] When you were watching the Game of Thrones or Ozark, whatever it is you're currently binge watching. And so that, you know, these vehicles, become, a bit more focused on the, the experience that's in the car. I think that people then may choose it based upon a brand that they already know and love. And the idea that it's just the generic brand for getting around, you know, that may end up being the, you know, the people express, you know, the budget airline of, of autonomous travel. And I think, you know, looking at the airline industry is probably not a bad way to go either. There aren't that many airline manufacturers. There's a lot more airline brands and there's, you know, regional airlines and, business airlines have low cost airlines and upscale airlines, entertainment, airlines like virgin. Seeing all of how that's rolled out makes you also understand that the end game here is, is, there's not, one brand isn't going to envelop the world, knows that the world's winner, there's going to need to be some collaboration between the brands so that if one of them isn't available in a city that you traveled to, you can still use, use the APP to get a ride in the same way that when I traveled to Berlin, I'm on a United plane to Frankfurt, but then I'm on a Lufthansa plane to, to Berlin and, you know, but I'm still a United customer that whole way through. Scot: [37:05] Yeah. I like to CX view of things as this can be interesting. It reminds me a lot of, you know, so if kind of look at some of the things Amazon's done, they've, they've taken a lot of traditional brands, which the equivalent in this metaphor would be the car brands today. and then they've, they've kind of created a layer between them and the customer, and then they'd commoditize them. That the classic example is batteries. So you get energizer and Duracell, and then Amazon starts, you know, and then now Amazon has Amazon basics, which they went right to China and they make their own batteries. And it's the, now that battery, at least on Amazon, is dramatically outselling Duracell and energizer. So, so if we kind of ticked that metaphor to its conclusion, you could see some of these, these operators manufacturing their own cars because it really doesn't matter. It becomes commodity, right? And it's the interior that matters. So it's seems to all paint a picture that's not great for the current car manufacturers. Is that Kinda where you net out on things? Unless they, you know, and then they also have, they also remind me of the world of retail because they have this innovator's dilemma of this, this network of franchise dealers that, that really limit their dimensions of movement. what do you think happens to the traditional manufacturer? Mark: [38:26] Let's say I, I, in my career, I spent 10 years at Nokia. You know, I saw what happens when a company that's known the world's best hardware, gets outflanked by companies that are software driven companies. And, the, the, you know, the strength becomes a weakness that the, you know, working at Nokia, I was always asked, as the software guy to provide a precise roadmap of what I was going to be shipping three years from now because that product managers designing his phone for, for something three years from now and the software teams, like, you know, that's nine generations away. I mean, that's not how software is designed. So the, you know, the vehicle manufacturers I think are coming to understand that there their DNA and what makes them great as they a safe vehicle manufacturer isn't necessarily what would make it great consumer services company. So you see BMW and Daimler spinning off there, their drive now reach now moovel and car goat businesses into a single business unit that has the charter to make this right. Scot: [39:46] Yeah. Software software's eating the world and Jason Horowitz has it right. so, you know, Spiffy is the first company I've started, which has its own fleet. We have about a hundred vans out there. and one of the things you talk about that's near and dear to my heart is that, that we've, we've kind of come at the same discovery is when you're operating a fleet of anything, the, at the end of the day to make it work, you have to keep that fleet busy. so at Spiffy, for example, we have three lines of business, and if we only had one of one of them, the whole thing wouldn't work. So we do consumers at home. We do consumers that office parks, and then we do fleet kind of operations. And what's Nice about that is consumers and office parks, they're busiest Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday residential or weekends, and then fleets kind of our fill in there. Scot: [40:38] And I've, you know, the, the slides I've seen you talk about, you know, you have some really interesting insights into if we go to this world where there's all these people operating these fleets, there is a utilization channel challenge. And, you know, I think one of your, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you talk about kind of operating a lot of different models as a way to optimize that. Share with listeners some of the things you guys are seeing there and your recommendations for fleet operators. Cause I think it's, it also ties into interesting consumer behaviors. Mark: [41:08] Absolutely. When you operate a consumer service, each business model or, or for each offering that you have, there's a natural demand curve for it. So we noticed that with, with car sharing, you know, the free floating car sharing those vehicles tend to get used in the middle of the day. People, people will use it to run their errands in the middle of the day. There's less concern about, finding parking, at night. Maybe people are going to restaurants and there's drinking involved in, you don't want to be driving yourself so that if you were just to have a free floating car sharing fleet, you can probably get into the 20 percentile, 25% utilization, which is really good. And you know better than just having a station-based fleet, which had, it gets about 15%. I mean it's meaning it's used about 15% of the time throughout the 24 hour clock. Mark: [42:10] If you can start to take those cars that you know, we're going to be sitting and unused in the evenings or early mornings and put, Uber and Lyft drivers in them, you can then start to reach more and you know, stack these demand curves so that the cars are now being used at night. They're being used early in the morning and they're being used in the middle of the day. But for different purposes. BMW's reach now service has, they found that when their fleet of beautiful, you know, pretty new BMW vehicles that they, they could start their own a ride hailing service where they would have one app. They built this app using the Ridecell Sdk. So they were able to create their own look and feel. And it was the first app that I think, that we know of in the world that allows you to raise a reserve, a car share vehicle, or press a different button and request a ride. Mark: [43:11] And that, you know, their chauffeurs shows up, with the white gloves and the hat and when they pull up, they, you know, get out and open the door for you. So they're offering a very high level of service, in a beautiful but understated vehicle. that might be priced competitive to say Uber Black, but you know, you're not showing up in a Cadillac Escalade. You're showing up in in a three series vehicle, which in an environmentally correct. A city like Seattle is, is definitely a feature over the, you know, the big gas guzzler. So it's the ability to use the fleets for the best and highest use at any given time is what lets these companies get utilization rates that are well into the, you know, 30 percentile and you know, even those that are stationed and apartment buildings can get into the 40 percentile, meaning that they are used 10 times more than a car gets used from a private vehicle owner. Mark: [44:15] You know, a privately owned car on average sits parked 96% of the time and so, and it's being used about 4% of the time. And that's really the power of the shared mobility revolution is that these are used by multiple people throughout the day, not just, you know, dedicated to a single person. When you think about some of these subscription services where you can change the car every month, that's not quite shared mobility because it's still one car, a one person. It's when the cars are able to be used, lots of different times of day is when that vehicle then starts to really get a multiple in terms of how much value it's getting extracted from it. Scot: [45:03] Very cool, so this is a really important point. I want to restate it and make sure I understand it. So, so we kind of have personal ownership is where we are today and that's kind of like a 4% utilization or or 96% idle, station-based, you kind of say around 15%. Then you layer in the free flowing, model, which you talked about that gets you to 20%. and then you know, that seems to be kind of weekday kind of utilization and then you can layer in evening and, and other off time with ride hailing. Now you're getting in, you know, maybe even some density on the apartment side and you get into that 30 to 40% layer. Is that kinda how you're thinking about that stacks up. Mark: [45:42] Exactly. So having a platform that allows you to do all these different business models is really the key that helps you unlock the maximum value, for any particular vehicle. Scot: [45:54] Cool. So if, if that version of the world is true, you guys are in a great spot. Mark: [46:00] I think the last piece too is just using today's insights to make sure that the consumer experience is up to par. making sure that these cars were made clean, that they remain and in the best possible spot for people to find discover them, to keep them well maintained with some predictive diagnostics. and then using the power of the crowd to operate and run these experiences more efficiently. Can we talked about, we have a predictive model. It shows for each vehicle how long before it gets rented and if it's, you know, 10, 12 hours then that there's an economic incentive to pay somebody to go there and move the car. But what we found is that we can also, change the color of that vehicles, pin on the map and offer it for 20% off and people will, you know, we can see where they pull the APP open. Mark: [47:03] They will, they will happily walk 10 blocks to that car that's probably not going to get used and use it for their trip in order to save money. So rather than paying $20 to move the card, $25, we're now essentially making 10, $12 on that vehicle rental and you know, have a very high likelihood of it ending up in a much better place. So being able to take and use, use these insights from the big data platform and get people, you know, kind of sharing the benefit of, hey, if you're willing to walk a little farther, we'll give you a nice discount that will make it worth your while. And we found that people are, you know, some people love a deal and we'll go happily go a long way to get that car that will really save them some money on their overall ride. Scot: [47:53] It's kind of funny cause that's the exact same decisions you make when you're selling a widget on Amazon. It's kind of funny. You can, you can move it faster if you lower the price or you could, you know, layers, some expense through ads or something on top of it. So it's kind of funny how these worlds collide in a lot of different ways. As things go digital, you start to see these patterns over and over again. Cool. Well, I know we're right up against time. Any last thoughts you want to share with listeners about where you see things going in the next five or 10 years? Mark: [48:21] Yeah, certainly. I think a lot of people today have a feeling that like, you know what, I'm not getting rid of my car and, and I don't expect very many people will get rid of their car, you know, in advance of the overall revolution. What I think probably it will happen is what's happened with me living here in San Francisco is that I, you know, between writing my electric bike everywhere and ticketing Uber's and lifts, I'm the evening and using, Gig car to get around that, you know, my car is sitting in my garage, you know, on a battery charger. And the other day I realized that I bought a box of CD's sitting right next to my car in the garage that don't get used either. And at some point you realize I'm just not using it and I'm still paying x dollars a year to insure it and licensed it and you know, as much as I would, I love, I'm a car guy. Mark: [49:28] I love owning cars. It's, it, it will creep up on you when you realize that it's been weeks since you've used the vehicle, maybe your lease is up. and, let's, let's try this share mobility thing out for real. So it's, you know, I don't think anybody's asking people to, to get rid of their cars and faith, but what will happen is they'll become like that box of cds. You just stopped using it and at some point you realize I should probably sell these or get rid of them before, say the value completely goes out of it. Scot: [50:01] It's usually after you've moved him a couple times when you have that very strong incentive to say like, why am I, why am I moving this physical media around? Yeah. Mark: [50:08] Exactly. Scot: [50:11] Cool. Mark: [50:11] All right, well thanks so much Scot, and this has been a good conversation. Scot: [50:14] Yeah. And if, you know, I think folks are going to really love your insights if they want to kind of follow your thinking online. do you, are you a big tweeter or on linkedin or where, where do you publish your, your thoughts on where we're going? Mark: [50:27] Yeah, just search Mark Thomas, Ridecell on Linkedin and follow me. I do, share quite a bit of news and occasionally write articles about how the future is shaping out. Scot: [50:40] Cool. Well thanks for coming on the podcast. you know, my year wait was well worth it and some really great insights and appreciate you coming on. Mark: [50:47] Thanks again, Scot.

International reputation and branding specialist   Lida made the decision to quit her corporate job and launch her own business back in 2008. Talk about a challenging time. But it turned out to be better than expected as people were looking for assistance with their brand in this new time.   Typically she is not a risk taker. So she interviewed many business owners large and small and overwhelmingly they gave her this advice ‘Don’t write a business plan’. That helped her be fluid and not so rigid on her approach with her company.   She had a convo with her hubby and said she was afraid of losing her sense of community moving from corporate to her own business. So she followed something that was unexpected, something that was pulling her. Taking her knowledge and experience and serving members of the military. That full story is in her TED talk - check that out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=15&v=9BloWnsJCRw   Check out her response to how she does self-care - for Lida, it’s about treating herself. BUT not just treating herself, but being intentionally mindful and present while she does it. So when she upgrades her flight or orders Uber Black - she is fully present and reflects on why she is doing what she’s doing. LOVE THAT!   Her company helps businesses who want to build a brand, change a brand or repair their reputation. For more info - check her out here: https://www.lida360.com/   Her strategy for her business and life is to be crystal clear on what her vision is and the legacy she wants to build but be flexible and open to how she gets there!   Book recommendations Thanks for the Feedback by Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen   ‘This is not a dress rehearsal’ - Cher   ___________________________________________________   I'm obsessed with storytelling and vulnerability because I believe that this is the truest way to find and stand in your power!

Send email feedback: annie@joinusinfrance.com Follow the show on Facebook What You Will Learn in this Episode with Timestamps 2'52 The biggest difference between using Uber in the US and in France is the language barrier. 3'25 Uber Pool vs. Uber Black: If you use the Uber Pool option, because it's a big city, you will have a lot of people riding with you and it will add on to the time it takes to get where you want to go. Uber Pool is sometimes half the price of Uber Black, so it's worth it if you're not in a hurry. 4'05 No Uber Pop in France: Uber Pop is the Uber service with older cars. 4'30 To get an accurate bid you need to set your pin location properly. Sometimes you have to enter the address manually. 6'00 It's hard to get a good estimate of how long betore the driver will pick you up with Uber in Paris because of the traffic conditions. 7'10 Tips on what to do on May 1st in France. Blair suggests taking an organized tour on that day and going away from Paris with a group where everything is organized. 8'33 When using Uber in Paris you will get to use your French, and it's good to also have the Google Translate App. 9'15 Uber Pool is a better option in the US than in Paris, that could be that it's because there are fewer Uber drivers in Paris. 9'40 Uber in Paris is cheaper in August than during the rest of the year. That's probably because it's mostly tourists calling Uber in August, demand goes down, so prices go down as well. 10'25 Uber is worth it if you have more than two people in your party. To go from one of the Paris airports to either the city center or to Disneyland Paris, it's definitely worth it. A taxi between CDG Airport and the left bank will run you over 60€, the same ride on Uber is at least 15€ cheaper. 11'35 Comparing the price of metro tickets to Uber in Paris. Blair and her husband took 20 trips with Uber in Paris. Twenty metro tickets for 20 trips for two would cots 60€ if bought in packs of 10 (it would be 76€ if buying single tickets). Those same trips with Uber cost them 185€. So Uber is about 3 times the price of taking the metro. 13' Install the Uber App before you come to France, you will use the same App with the same credit card. 13'40 French cars also have a license plate on both the front and back of the car, so it's easier to recognize the car if you don't know European cars. 15' Basic French phrases you will need when using Uber in Paris: c'est à gauche = it's on the left c'est à droite = it's on the right allumez la climatisation s'il vous plaît = turn on the AC please 16'30 Some things Blair and her husband enjoyed in Paris: Paris Picnic. Blue Bike Tour was great too. 19' What else did you wish you knew before you went? Uber in August is cheaper, if you go the rest of the year consider mixing things up and maybe using the bus system (see our episode on comparing the Paris Metro with the Paris Bus and details on how to use them both). 19'50 To go back and forth to the airport definitely use Uber. Here is information from the Uber website on where to wait for your Uber at CDG: from terminals 1, 2A, 2C, 2D and 2F, exit on the departure level. From terminals 2E, 2G and 3, exit on the arrivals level. Head outside and wait at the curb. Then enter your terminal and door number so your driver knows where to find you. 21'45 Air France buses between CDG and Paris city center.  

There was a lot of excitement about Snapchat’s parent company going public yesterday, but not everything's rosy in Silicon Valley. Uber has been facing a string of problems: drivers and users protesting the CEO's membership in an advisory group counseling President Trump, claims of sexual harassment, and allegations Uber stole self-driving technology from Google.  And then just this week, a daschcam video showed Uber CEO Travis Kalanick getting into an argument with Fawzi Kamel, an Uber Black driver who confronted the CEO for dropping prices and leaving workers like him out to dry. It didn’t end well. This Week on Money Talking, Sheelah Kolhatkar of The New Yorker and Joe Nocera of Bloomberg View look at where the company and its CEO stand, and whether they can drive through the storm.

Publicado: 18 de marzo de 2015 (Temporada 3)El transporte es un tema que siempre ha sido relevante y con el tiempo ha evolucionado a medida que han surgido nuevas formas de transporte y tecnologías. Una de estas empresas es Uber, que ha intentado expandirse a nivel global pero ha enfrentado obstáculos legales en algunos países. En Alemania, algunos de sus servicios fueron declarados ilegales, mientras que en Francia se llevó a cabo un allanamiento sorpresivo en sus oficinas para recoger documentos y ordenadores. A pesar de esto, Uber sigue siendo legal en muchos lugares, incluyendo el servicio de lujo Uber Black y el servicio de taxis Uber Taxi. En América, Uber ha enfrentado la competencia de aplicaciones de taxis locales como Tapsi en Colombia y Easy Taxi en Brasil. Aunque algunos argumentan que Uber pone en riesgo a los negocios locales, otros argumentan que ofrece una opción más barata y conveniente para los usuarios.
