Now, in light of the rapid growth of the micromobility sector, SAE is working to develop standards for micromobility – and it all starts by creating a baseline of understanding by defining the different micromobility devices. Annie Chang, Head of New Mobility at SAE International, joined Greg Rogers at SAE’s Innovation in Mobility conference to discuss SAE’s upcoming J3163 document, which will help to define each type of device on the road today. Annie and Greg also discuss the Mobility Data Collaborative, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), and how to maximize the “delight factor” in transportation.Learn more about SAE’s micromobility work here: https://www.sae.org/micromobilityAnd, as always, you can also keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @SharedMobilityS, @SmarterTranspo.

| #056: Mile Wide, Mile Deep - Innovations in Mobility Preview w/ Dave Weil & Frank Bokulich, SAE | 29 Oct 2019 | 00:23:19 | |
In recent years, the mobility space has been flooded with conferences chock-full of buzzwords and “thought leaders” – but SAE has launched a new conference, Innovations in Mobility, that they say will do something different. By bringing together the technical experts who are actually working on promising transportation technologies with the visionaries who are advancing them in business and policy, SAE hopes to build out a conference that is a mile wide, and a mile deep. Greg Rogers (SAFE Greg) is at Innovations in Mobility this week for a series of interviews with some of the expert speakers – he was joined by Dave Weil and Frank Bokulich of SAE International for a sneak peak of the conference and a discussion of how SAE is fostering new connections between professionals across the transportation sector.Keep up with the IIM conference this week (Oct. 29-31) on Twitter by following the hashtag #SAEIIM.Keep up with SAE on Twitter @SAEIntl or on their website: https://www.sae.org/And, as always, you can also keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @SharedMobilityS, @SmarterTranspo.

| #055: Electric Buses 101 with Ryan Popple, CEO, Proterra | 18 Oct 2019 | 00:40:10 | |
Electric buses have emerged as one of the hottest topics in U.S. transportation policy, with transit agencies across the country increasingly looking to electrification as an opportunity to increase the efficiency of their fleets while lowering operating costs. Ryan Popple, CEO of Proterra, joined Greg, Greg, and Pete for a wide-ranging discussion about all things electric buses. Ryan kicked off the discussion by sharing how his military background led to his interest in reducing oil dependence, as well as his passion for accelerating electric vehicle adoption. Throughout the episode, we explored some of the most interesting questions surrounding the electric bus sector:-What are the engineering challenges that make building an electric bus different from just building a bigger, longer electric car?-Why are the partnerships we’re seeing between EV companies and utilities so important?-In a completely hypothetical scenario, happens when the electrical grid is shut down in, say, the San Francisco Bay Area for several days?-What does Congress need to know about electric buses, and how can it help to accelerate their adoption?-How can transit agencies, cities, and states successfully adopt electric buses?Follow Proterra on Twitter at @Proterra_Inc.Learn more about Proterra and sign up for their distribution list on their website: https://www.proterra.com/And, as always, you can also keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @SharedMobilityS, @SmarterTranspo.

#048: “Acceptance of what?” - Dr. Jack Stilgoe, University College London (at AVS 2019)What’s better: public acceptance or public acceptability? Pete and SAFE Greg sat down to ponder AVs, PAVE, and public perception with Dr. Jack Stilgoe, Associate Professor at the Department of Science and Technology Studies at University College London. We discuss the perception challenges ahead for AVs, the international landscape for AV development and testing, and reactions to technology-related crashes. “The right way to think about it if you’re developing the technology is to think, what will be acceptable technology?” Jack suggests. “Even just the even twist to say ‘let’s talk about public acceptability.’ What will people actually want? What will go with people’s hopes and values.”Follow Jack on Twitter: @JackStilgoeFind Jack’s work at https://driverless-futures.comAs always, you can also keep up with the Mobility Podcast on Twitter: @MobilityPodcast, @AVGregR, @SharedMobilityS, @SmarterTranspo.Learn more about AVS here: https://www.automatedvehiclessymposium.org/homeStay tuned in the coming weeks for more exciting guest interviews held by The Mobility Podcast at AVS 2019!
