TRANSPORT IS THE SMARTEST PART OF THE CITY TODAY

WWW.REPROGRAMMINGMOBILITY.ORG

Again - information technology (digital technology) doesnt alone make mobility smart, because its always had a lot of technologyThere is a lot of change that has to go on to exploit that:in consumers and citizen behaviorin design and delivery of services and the organizations that provide them, in interactions in markets,in governments and regulators that shape themI call this whole process Re-programming Mobility

SLIDE 13: img: re-pro mobility cartoons selection / 4 scenarios + urla process I call re-programming mobilitywhats making transportation smart is people and markets. its that the technology, and the data, and the new behavior, is moving from the center to the edge of the network. that means we can harness markets to make it happen. and the benefits go straight to the people that want and need them. and it all happens on this new innovation time speed cycle of digital not industrial that is extremely powerful combination.crib from Sean As note https://medium.com/@shaunabe/we-like-to-move-it-move-it-87349af113f2#.eumwihwjz

Elon Musk, CEO Tesla Motors, April 2016

We have an idea for something which is not exactly a bus but would solve the density problem for inner city situations. Autonomous vehicles are key.

Theres a new type of car or vehicle that would be great for that and thatll actually take people to their final destination and not just the bus stop. I dont want to talk too much about it. I have to be careful what I say.

Re-Programming Infrastructure

Re-Programming Markets Ubers Surge Pricing

we can change policy to shape how markets works - this can happen through regulatory enforcement or voluntary (e.g. Uber is getting rid of surge pricing)

Re-Programming Citizens

we can influence behavior

Citizens Re-Programming (Themselves)

Re-Programming Places

Re-Programming Mobility OurselvesDIY Smart Urban Mobility and The Internet of Things

there are no overnight successes in the smart city

except when there are!

2. meanwhile the market is shifting the carpet under us faster than anyone expected - the shift to AVs is going to much faster and more chaotic than anyone anticipates
