What do four intelligent entrepreneurs in the shared mobility space think of the future of carsharing, and the shared economy as a whole? We had the pleasure of interviewing these shared mobility entrepreneurs to gather their thoughts, and we’ve compiled the highlights into the following video.

 

  1. How will shared mobility change in the next 5 years?

    We wanted to get our interviewees’ perspectives on what they see happening in the next 5 years in the industry of shared mobility as a whole, including carsharing, ride sharing, and bikesharing. Because each of these entrepreneurs are each so entrenched in the industries, we suspected that their projections would be quite accurate.

  2. Why is shared mobility important for our cities and communities?

    We wanted to get some insight from our four shared mobility entrepreneurs about the impact of shared mobility on a more global-scale, starting with our cities and communities. Their answers proved to be very forward-thinking, with sustainability and quality of life at the forefront of their remarks.

  3. What do we have to do to convince more people to make shared mobility part of their lifestyle?

    Addressing the hurdle of getting more individuals to buy into the concept of shared mobility, we wanted to know what each of these entrepreneurs think is the best strategy for overcoming barriers and creating well-rounded change for whole communities and cities with the use of shared mobility.
