The Future of Mobility: Shared and Ultra-Fast 

Dr Doron Myersdorf, CEO of StoreDot, assesses the challenges faced on the route to electric, shared, connected, and autonomous transportation, and explains why the future of mobility is underpinned by one thing – charging speed.

In the next decade, it is expected that the world will go through an enormous technological shift, greater than anything that’s happened in the last century. Industries are changing at a rapid pace, with machine learning, artificial intelligence and advanced technology paving the way for a more connected, shared and autonomous world. This trend is most evident when we look to the transport industry. From Google’s driverless vehicles, to Uber’s meteoric rise, to the harmful impact of the world’s favourite mode of transport - the internal combustion engine (ICE) – the attention on alternative, environmentally-friendly modes of transport, has never been more frenzied.

Of course, all the advancements are exciting, with some more likely than others to impact immediate change. For instance, it’s likely to be decades before totally autonomous vehicles are an everyday reality. The most interesting trend today is the noticeable shift in vehicle ownership, driving attitudes and habits. From the increased use of hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) to shared mobility, the way we move through the world is changing, so it’s no surprise that the rapid developments in electrification and driver behaviour are interlinked.
