Autolib' is a car sharing service in Paris that allows subscribers to rent fully electric vehicles from over 250 stations for use 24/7. The vehicles have zero emissions and are part of an urban transport system created by Vincent Bollore's Bolloré Group using lithium metal polymer battery technology. Subscribers pay a fee and can pick up and drop off vehicles anywhere within the system without needing to return them to their origin. The service aims to reduce car ownership and emissions through convenient access to electric vehicles for short trips within the city.
Over the last decade I was involved with a P&C insurer doing various projects & initiatives.
They were substantial and valuable activities, but all were focused on the near term and essentially dealing with the status quo.
During my last week, when I was wrapping up my last project I was asked “what issues should they look out for that would need to be addressed in the longer term?”
Great question, but I hadn’t put any thought into that so there was no insightful or useful answer I could share.
But… …I got to thinking.
Autonomous Vehicles are coming and they are supposed to have a big impact. What exactly would it be? Maybe a dip or shift, just another ripple & then things would carry on as normal, a real change, what exactly?
So I started doing some research and concluded that the end game was Fully Autonomous Rides; which led me to the conclusion that this will be the single biggest disruption since the first large scale industrial revolution driven by steam technology.
The computer finally completely displaces the driver… …and then?
Everything will be affected and nothing will be able to avoid some ripple crashing through their safe havens.
I’ve shared very specific scenarios that can be tracked, so we can watch it unfold with a game plan.
And to answer the question posed by the P&C exec…
.... You need to plan for the entire collapse of your industry;
it is only 10 to 15 years away.

The top 5 things planners need to know about self-driving vehiclesChris Hedden
There are numerous stories being written on self-driving vehicles today that are pretty impressive, and to be honest, almost a bit overwhelming.
In fact there are so many angles to the self-driving vehicle arena, that it is hard to know what we should be concerned about as transportation planners.
Inspired by a SlideShare I had seen by Jonathan Rosenberg at Google, my colleague, Dan Krechmer and I thought we would have some fun and talk about this exciting topic in a new way; which not only engages, but also informs.
We then teamed up with artist Ron Basile who brought our words to life; and did a heck of a job with the illustrations.
I hope you enjoy our perspective on this exciting development in transportation.

A Flat Fee Suffices: Taxi Cab Phenomenon in SingaporeBernard Leong
Have you ever wondered why you are never able to get a taxi during certain times of the day in Singapore? Have you ever wondered why the taxi drivers are always complaining? Are the incentives really that bad for them? Gathering some anecdotal evidence coupled with economics and physics, I seek to analyze the cultural phenomenon of taxi cabs in Singapore. At the end, he presents a solution based on free market and competition to how the problem might be solved.
