In this episode, Oliver and Horace discuss the Micromobility FAQ's and their significance.

Specifically, they cover:

- how it's categorised and why this is important

- whether autonomous cars will make Micromobility irrelevant

- Infrastructure and why and how this is an important question

- How should we think about measuring success.

In this episode, Horace and Oliver discuss the new Micromobility book that is up on Kickstarter. This is the first book from Horace in the space, and outlines why and how micromobility will take over the world. Get your copy here - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2092675260/micromobility-the-first-year?ref=27ap2v.

Next up, Oliver and Michal discuss the latest news including the first Bird Platform launch globally in New Zealand, Voi's recent raise and Jump's latest data from Sacramento.

Finally, we release the Venture Capital panel from the recent Micromobility Summit in California. We have Greg Lindsay, Director of Strategy, LA CoMotion moderate a panel with Julie Lien (Founding Partner, Urban Innovation Fund), Reilly Brennan (Founding Partner, Trucks.vc) and Damir Becirovic (Principal, Index Ventures).

In this episode, Horace and Oliver discuss vehicle standards and classifications based on Horace's recent discussions with the Society of Automotive Engineers.

Specifically, we 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.

On today's episode, Oliver runs over recent news in the scooter/micromobility space with Michal Naka (@michalnaka) and we release the government regualtor panel from the recent Micromobility California Summit talking about the experiences from LA, Portland, Oakland and Claremont in regulating scooter operators. In the news section, we discuss: - The emergence of Grin in South America, and what this means for scooters in Latam. - Lime's recent $310m raise and how this reflects the consolidation of the rest of the industry. Next, we have the panel from the recent Summit where Katie Fehrenbacher (@katiefehren) from Greenbiz hosts a panel with Seleta Reynolds (@seletajewel) from the LADOT, Ryan Russo (@rrinoak) from the Oakland DOT, Briana Orr (@BrianaLOrr) who managed Portland's Shared Electric Scooter Pilot, and Julie Medero, Chair of the Traffic and Transportation Commission from the City of Claremont. They cover: - how cities are viewing the rise of micromobility operations as a means of providing access to low-cost mobility and benefitting their citizens - what cities have learnt from the rise of Uber/Lyft and how that is influencing their regulatory stances with new operators and business models - how they're using their ability to regulate to influence data standards and how this will affect operators/entrepreneurs in this space - the variables that they, as regulators, need to consider as part of rollouts - how cities are thinking about infrastructure and deployment, and the challenges that they face in rolling out safe infrastructure for micromobility
