Korea’s Self Driving Uber. The Rise of Automated Vehicles

In Seoul Korea, driverless taxis that emulate an Automated Uber, has already begun live testing. This leaps forward how we are progressing as a society and it’s relationship with vehicle ownership.

Uber has led the change of how we travel; so far Uber has:

• Taken 40% of profits from NY Taxi services, eliminating 10,000 jobs
• Hired famous car hackers to harden vehicles against hacks
• Interested in removing the drivers from their services to create autonomous mobility

General Motors and Lyft have partnered to make self-driving car-sharing vehicles.

Tesla released functionality to enable vehicle autonomy.

It’s where we are headed. Just order your car via mobile device, and hop in and get delivered.

The future is the top right quadrant and where we are headed. Millennials and the prediction of future generations have been caring less and less about driving and buying and insuring cars and it’s starting to make sense to have a shared buying experience since cars sit on average for more than 85% of the total time they are owned. Especially in cities where parking is a huge challenge and not convenient.
