Few publications have their fingers on the pulse of new mobility quite like Zag Daily. In just the past month, the UK-based publisher has tracked the rise of the robotaxi market, covered the launch of inventive new micromobility options like the Otherlab solar-powered Lightfoot, and has closely covered the eVTOL industry’s rocky descent. Add in some great op-eds and interviews, and you can see why we’re often linking out to their site.

That’s why I really enjoyed today’s interview, where Zag’s Editor Ben Hubbard stopped by (at 29:20) to discuss his high level view of what’s gone right and what’s gone wrong with the overall state of new mobility on both sides of the Atlantic. He also offered up some actionable advice for startups entering the space, including how to make your press pitch stand out in his crowded inbox.

Greg and I also get into the week’s news, diving in on juicy topics like Uber’s very Xmas-y feature launch, cyber weekend sales stats, the sad state of Fisker, and our favorite stories from the past year. This is our last episode of The Courier for the season, but expect us to be back in action in 2025 — please pitch us on guest recommendations!
