Abstract:

In my book, The Big Data Opportunity in Our Driverless Future, I argue that: 1) societal and urban challenges are accelerating the adoption of on-demand mobility, and 2) technology advances, including big data and AI, are making Autonomous Connected and Electrified (ACE) vehicles a reality. ACE vehicles and on-demand mobility will cause three major shifts that can lead to the disruption of the automotive and transportation industries: a consumer shift, an automotive industry shift, and a mobility services shift. In this talk I examine what is causing these shifts, the value chain that is emerging as a result of these shifts, big data’s and AI's key roles in the value chain, and the models being created around this value chain.
