22: Micromobility Standards
In this episode, Horace and Oliver discuss vehicle standards and classifications based on Horace's recent discussions with the Society of Automotive Engineers. Specifically, the cover: - What are automotive standards, why are they important, and how does this change how we look at the world? - The history of the term 'microcomputing' and how the significance of this faded away over time, and what parallels we might be able to see with mobility. - How is the SAE thinking about classifying micromobility vehicles, and what are the likely implications of this - What variables regulators should be thinking about when looking at vehicles, and which they should avoid (hint: speed) - What value the German system for classifying low-powered electric vehicles could offer globally - The parallels to Horace's time at Nokia, and how he foresaw the rise of the battle of iOS and Android.
