Mainstream Electric Vehicles
Talino EV is developing technology to lower the cost of electric vehicles to be equal to gasoline-powered vehicles by connecting micro-businesses in manufacturing, sales, financing, and service delivery. This will accelerate sales of clean and efficient electric vehicles to the global emerging middle class by lowering up-front purchase costs through frequent, installment payments, making mass adoption of electric vehicles possible for the first time. More electric vehicles for commercial transportation in dense megacities will decrease pollution and illness from decreased combustion vehicles while reducing dependence on imported oil.

This document discusses several "lies" regarding shared mobility and new mobility business models:
1) Shared mobility is often not truly shared, as services like Uber and taxis typically only have 1.5-1.6 passengers per vehicle. Increased use of on-demand services may reduce car ownership but likely increase congestion.
2) Shared vehicle use and carsharing have been declining for decades, and growth of these services has been dwarfed by continued growth in private car ownership.
3) Shared mobility will not necessarily lead to more efficient use of resources, as mobility-as-a-service business models rely on increasing the total amount of mobility sold.
4) Urban planning and policies will be

New Mobility World
This document discusses the disruption in the automotive and mobility industries driven by new technologies like computing, connectivity, sensing, big data and artificial intelligence. Key trends include urbanization, sharing economies, and autonomous vehicles. The mobility revolution will shift from car-centric to user-centric transportation with zero emissions, accidents, and ownership as people increasingly rely on ridesharing and robotic car sharing. Vehicle ownership models are changing, and both incremental and disruptive changes will come from new players in ecosystems around mobility as a service.
Driverless Cars by Aniket Banthia
Driverless cars that can drive themselves without human input are being developed by major automakers and tech companies and some are expected to be available for purchase within the next few years. These autonomous vehicles could significantly impact transportation by improving safety, reducing traffic and lowering emissions while allowing people time for other activities while commuting. However, widespread adoption of driverless cars will likely disrupt the auto industry and related sectors by reducing private car ownership and insurance costs while changing energy demand. For driverless cars to be widely adopted, their benefits must be effectively marketed to consumers and issues like pricing and who is responsible in the event of an accident need to be addressed.

Sebastian Emig - silver bullet for future urban mobilitity or waste of money
This document discusses the pros and cons of light rail transit (LRT) versus bus rapid transit (BRT) for future urban mobility. It finds that while BRT can be more flexible and affordable initially, LRT has higher capacity, better supports urban development, provides a higher quality ride, and may have lower long-term operational costs. The key is selecting the most appropriate transit mode based on local conditions and demand, with the goal of prioritizing public transportation over private vehicles to address issues like congestion, pollution and urban sprawl. Both BRT and LRT can transform public transit but LRT often enables greater regeneration and has more potential for future capacity increases.

Social media for business The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
