13. Scramblers: Messing with Conventional Mobility Wisdom

From jaw-dropping Hyundais  (yes, Hyundais), to conservative stalwarts getting progressive about driving, it seems the mobility world's turned upside down since the Yonder Boys last outing. In this episode, we discuss how Paris's ban on shared scooters (mon dieu!) might help them in smaller towns; heads of state and big oil bracing for change by embracing new mobility; and the move by Walmart and the Wall Street Journal to scale back the parking lot.Our guest is Jacob Greig from Liftango, a ridesharing technology for on-demand transit and peer-to-peer rides. Turns out there's a lot of moving parts in the equation.And then we rant. Or is it a rave? Drool-worthy EVs fresh off the Korean assembly lines. So why can't the Germans, Italians, or Swedes get us just as excited about car design as these two stalwarts of the "economy class?" Find out what we think on our latest episode of the Yonder Boys - lucky 13!
