The future of transportation is when cars are connected to cars, cars are connected to infrastructure, traffic is negligible, and customers happily pay to keep this ecosystem going. This utopia can be broken down into smaller operations, and as such, we turn to the state of Colorado for some guidance on the economics of their connected car culture.

As the Chief of Advanced Mobility for the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), my guest is responsible for accelerating innovation and technologies that maximize the experience of people, goods, and information moving on Colorado’s transportation system.

She directs program strategy for the Division of Mobility Operations, which exists to improve the safety and efficiency of Colorado’s transportation system, and she directs strategy for the RoadX program, which seeks to partner with the private sector to deploy transformational transportation solutions.

Brian Allan, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships at Hyrecar, is a long-time “car guy” who advocates for the evolution of the automotive retail operation. While change is occurring with the onset of connected and autonomous vehicles, automotive retailers can position themselves to take that first leap and become transportation solution providers, rather than the traditional car dealership. Hyrecar (NASDAQ: HYRE) enables automotive retailers to turn idle assets into money-making opportunities for the ridesharing economy. So in Brian’s world, customers can seek out an automotive retailer to buy, service, rent, and become a rideshare driver all from the same automotive retail operation.
