About this episode

The way we move people and things is changing—transportation is becoming more electric, more autonomous, and more informed by advanced technology. These shifts present significant opportunity, both for new players to enter the mix and existing companies to reinvent themselves—with great potential benefit for society.   

  

In this episode of our special Take on Tomorrow series, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke explore the future of mobility with Robin Chase, transportation entrepreneur and cofounder and former CEO of Zipcar. They’re also joined by Heiko Seitz, PwC’s Global eMobility Leader, from PwC Middle East, who takes us through the electric vehicle revolution, and why companies need to rethink their business models if they want to capture the opportunities in this space today and in the years ahead.
