If you think about the transportation world as “new mobility” and “old mobility,” it often seems that despite all the innovation of the past few years, it often happens in its own silo, leaving the classic world of American transportation — car dealers — unaffected. So that’s why this announcement, that Connexion Mobility has launched a partnership with Uber, caught our eye. This allows car dealers to dispatch courtesy vehicles for customers who’ve brought their own cars in for service, tapping into Uber’s pool of gig drivers, as opposed to forcing dealerships to maintain their own clunky networks of shuttles (or deal with maintaining a loaner fleet.)

Jonah Bliss chats with Connexion’s CEO Aaryn Nanioa about the launch, plus he gets into his own non-traditional path to the mobility world, as well as what it’s like running a publicly listed company.
