Urbanization • Car is nuisance • Public transport available
Software-‐Enabled Mobility • Sharing • Multi-‐modal
Example: Mobility Market

Mobility Market ➞ Urbanization ➞ Cars ownership is a nuisance: parking, high
cost & maintenance effort, traffic jams
➞ Public transport is available
➞ Software-‐enabled, next generation mobility concepts ➞ Sharing: car sharing, ride sharing ➞ Multi-‐modal mobility services: flexibly
combining different modes of transportation
