This document outlines a proposal for UberCab, a next-generation on-demand car service that uses mobile apps and optimized dispatching to provide faster, more efficient rides than traditional taxis. Key aspects include using luxury vehicles, incentivizing high-quality drivers, only allowing pre-screened members to request rides digitally, and using advanced algorithms to minimize wait and travel times. The service aims to initially launch in San Francisco and New York, targeting professionals, with plans to expand nationwide and integrate additional location-based services.

These slides use ideas from my (Jeff Funk) class to develop a business model for ZipCar. Users can rent ZipCar vehicles using their mobile phones; they simply search for the closest vehicle and then find the vehicle in a prescribed parking space using GPS. This enables them to find vehicles faster than current methods. Zip Car targets people who want to use a vehicle for more than a single taxi trip and who do not live near the rental agency offices.
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

2. Cabs in 2008
• Most use aging & inefficient technology
– Radio dispatch, no 2-way communication
– Most common car, Ford Crown Victoria = 14mpg
• Hailing is done by hand or phone
– No GPS coordination between client/driver
– Significant fareseeking or “dead-time”
2
3. The Medallion System
• Taxi-monopolies reduce quality of service
– Medallions are expensive, and drivers underpaid
– Medallions cost ~$500k, drivers make 31k
– No incentive/accountability for drivers/clients
• Digital Hail can now make street hail unnecessary
3
4. UberCab Concept

• Car services require 1-3 hours notice
• Car services transfers average over $60 + tax
• UberCab would be faster & cheaper than a limo, but
nicer & safer than a taxicab
11
12. Environmental Benefits
• Better Utilization of Vehicle Resources
– In NYC, 35% of time is spend looking for fares
– In less dense cities, can be over half “dead-time”
– As swarm size increases, efficiency will improve
• Hybrid vehicles (2x efficiency of a cab)
– Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid, Lexus GS-450h
– Reduce carbon footprint, better use of time in car
• Ridesharing/Carpooling incentives – lower rates
– Trip to SFO, or Ballpark to Marina after a game
12
13. UberCab Fleet
• Premium – S550 for SF Beta clients
• 30mpg with S400 BlueHybrid (in 2010)
• Standard – Lexus GS450h or e320– 23mpg
