Disrupting mobility
Open accessAbstract
Personal mobility is facing three major innovations that have disruptive potential: electrification, shared mobility and automation. In this perspective I present each of these on their own and look at their role in disrupting the auto industry, the transport system and energy system. The largest disruptive potential lies in the combination of these three innovations, i.e., in the shared autonomous electric vehicles (SAEV). While shared mobility per se might not have the potential to truly disrupt the transport system it is necessary to steer electrification and automation in a more sustainable direction. Technology and innovations alone will not be sufficient to create a new sustainable transportation system, regulations will also be necessary.

Regulation is required to make the introduction of autonomous vehicles sustainable.
“In many of the policy related papers reviewed, regulation is found to be 755 required in order to make the introduction of autonomous vehicles sustainable (International Association of Public Transport, 2017;Lang et al., 2018;Sprei, 2018).”

Automation needs to be steered towards sustainability in combination with a shared mobility system.
“Sprei (2018) concludes that the automation needs to be steered towards sustainability in combination with shared mobility system.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
