Mobility Masterclass

🚨 Plot twist: Your next Uber Eats delivery might roll up on six wheels instead of two legs. 👀 That’s right — robot delivery is officially a thing in Jersey City. Mobility startup Avride and UberEat launched a fleet of #autonomoussidewalkbots to handle your lunch rush. Forget the scooter guy — now your sushi might arrive in a self-driving lunchbox #onwheels 🍣🤖 Customers can now choose between a human courier or a bot. Track it in-app. Meet it at your door. Unlock with your phone. Voilà, your dinner is served. The bots? - Run up to 50km per charge - Zoom around at 8 km/h - Can brave rain, snow, and hangry New Yorkers - And operate in a ~2.5km² zone full of cafés & Michelin-star restaurants 🍽️ Read More here: https://lnkd.in/eHSK84Q4 Lesson of the day: The future of delivery is not just about speed, it’s about #autonomy.

📢 Thrilled to announce that Mobility Masterclass was in Oslo last week! We've brought a delegation of 25 transport professionals to learn firsthand from the pioneers at Ruter As and Holo about their groundbreaking first European robotaxi deployment. We also had great discussions with Vy, Statens vegvesen - Norwegian Public Roads Administration and Entur AS. Thank you to the great speakers : Liisa Andersson Lars Gunnar Lundestad Umair M.Imam Hans Fridberg Dr. Sigma Dolins Haakon Gløersen and others. 🔎 It was an incredible opportunity to witness innovation in action and gain valuable insights into the future of urban mobility. 🙏 This was made possible by the support of EIT Urban Mobility. Stay tuned for updates and key learnings from this immersive experience! #MobilityMasterclass #Oslo #Ruter #Robotaxi #AutonomousVehicles #Innovation #FutureofMobility #Transportation Johannes Adensamer Aggelos Soteropoulos Daði Áslaugarson Tim Asperges Ayoub Raji Elisa Bracco Cesar Omar Chacón Fernandez simon collet Quentin Colombier Dario Deserranno Marco Fuliotto Dirk Lauwers Quentin Letesson Christophe Leurident Egon Holger Erik Liinar Cesare Paonessa Christian Scervo Koen Schietecatte Dennis Solid Joost Swinnen Xavier Tackoen Marc Tijssens Frédéric Van Malleghem Laure Vandenbossche Christophe Vanoerbeek Espaces-Mobilités

Great visit last week in #Oslo, Norway 🇳🇴 with interesting insights and discussions with Ruter As, Statens vegvesen - Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Holo, Entur AS, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden and Vy on the deployment of #automated #vehicles in Norway, the on-demand automated transport service with Mobileye in Groruddalen in the north-east of Oslo, the legal framework on automated vehicles in #Norway and the application of AI in the context of a mobility operator. It was great to see that #shared automated vehicles and their integration in #public #transport are seen as an important building block to fulfill Oslo‘s future #mobility #goals. Looking forward to further exchange perspectives in the future! Many thanks for the organization Dario Deserranno and Xavier Tackoen from Mobility Masterclass and EIT Urban Mobility as well as for the great presentations and discussions Liisa Andersson, Lars Gunnar Lundestad, Christian Willoch, Endre Angelvik, Hans Fridberg, Jørgen Kjær, Christina Skaftnes Nicolaisen, Anette Skauge, Umair M.Imam, Brede Dammen, Dr. Sigma Dolins etc!

De voorbije twee dagen nam ik deel aan de Advanced Masterclass on Autonoumous Mobility die Espaces-Mobilités via EIT Urban Mobility organiseert. De focus ging naar Noorwegen en de manier waarop er op nationaal, regionaal en lokaal niveau wordt samengewerkt om #Autonomous_Shared_Mobility op te schalen. En we kunnen nog veel leren van de Noren. Indien Europa wenst dat autonoom rijden naast kostenbesparing en verhoging van verkeersveiligheid ook een meerwaarde is voor stedelijke én suburbane mobiliteit, dan is #Shared autonomous mobility dé fundamentele sleutel. #Robotaxi's zijn niet de oplossing en zullen enkel leiden tot meer mobiliteit; enkel #Roboshuttles en #Autonomous_public_transport leiden tot minder voertuigkilometers én betere mobiliteit en bereikbaarheid! Naast de technologische uitdaging is er ook het niet te onderschatten aspect van het menselijk gedrag. Gedeelde autonome voertuigen worden een nieuwe (mobiele) publieke ruimte en over met wie we deze ruimte willen delen en de manier waarop we er graag gebruik van zullen maken, gaf Dr. Sigma Dolins een spot on presentatie. Ook heel veel dank aan Liisa Andersson en Dario Deserranno voor de uitmuntende voorbereiding. https://lnkd.in/ewFSETdW Xavier Tackoen Christophe Vanoerbeek Marc Tijssens Joost Swinnen Koen Schietecatte Miguel Lopes Marco Fuliotto simon collet Laure Vandenbossche Dirk Lauwers Christophe Leurident Quentin Letesson Aggelos Soteropoulos Mobility Masterclass #Radical_Innovation_Ruter Ruter As

NEWS 📮🚨 Waymo Isn’t Playing Small—It’s Playing Everywhere! Forget “one day.” #Driverlesscars are here — And #Waymo? Foot on the gas, no looking back 💨 Here’s what’s going down: • New depots popping up in 📍L.A. • Thousands of self-driving Jaguars assembled (RIP I-Pace production) • Real estate gymnastics to keep the fleet charged🔋 , clean & ready • New partners: Zeekr International, Hyundai Motor Company (현대자동차), Uber • Cities in the pipeline: Miami, Atlanta… maybe even NYC 👀 But it’s not all smooth roads—neighborhood tension, infrastructure puzzles, and a big question: Can Waymo scale the #tech and the support systems fast enough? 💡Would you take a #Waymoride today? Or still holding out for flying cars? 🛸 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/epXp--Cj https://lnkd.in/ecXCfjuy #BlogArticle #Waymo #AutonomousVehicles #UrbanMobility #DriverlessNews #MobilityMasterclass

Xavier Tackoen est interviewé par Caroline Beauvois dans un article de LaLibre. sur les voitures autonomes. Imaginez : Vous êtes à San Francisco, vous commandez une voiture et c'est une Jaguar sans chauffeur qui s'arrête devant vous. Vous montez, la voiture démarre, tourne, ralentit pour un piéton… et personne ne touche au volant 😳 C’est exactement ce que vivent les utilisateurs de Waymo, le service de #robotaxis lancé par Google. Aujourd’hui, à #SF, tout le monde peut réserver sa course sans chauffeur comme un Uber normal. Quelques infos marquantes : 📍 Aujourd’hui, Waymo – la filiale de Google – a plus de 1 000 véhicules en opération dans quatre villes américaines : Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles et, depuis peu, Austin (Texas). Chaque semaine, ces voitures effectuent environ 200 000 trajets. 🚗 Niveau d’autonomie 4 : aucun conducteur requis ⛔ L’Europe, elle, en est encore à des expérimentations de navettes lentes, sur des parcours ultra balisés… et avec souvent un opérateur à bord. 🌍 Résultat : les technologies viennent principalement de Chine et des États-Unis. 🧠 Xavier Tackoen pose LA question : “Pourquoi l’Europe n’a-t-elle pas développé sa propre technologie de conduite autonome ?” 👉 L’article complet est à lire ici : https://lnkd.in/e9tsTmvJ #SanFrancisco #VoituresAutonomes #Waymo #MobilityMasterclass #LaLibre

🚘 Autonomous driving is here… but are we really ready? The #JiYue01 (next-generation automotive robocar brand) just hit the market, and it’s not just another electric car—it’s a game-changer. Developed by GEELY x Baidu, Inc., this #EV comes with Level 4 autonomous driving, meaning it can handle almost everything on its own. Yes, that includes: ☑️  Self-parking & valet mode – summon your car from 2 km away ☑️ AI-powered voice control – it actually understands you ☑️ 720 km range + ultra-fast charging ⚡ ☑️ 0-100 km/h in 3.8 sec – autonomy doesn’t mean boring With China rolling out more #autonomous driving tech, it’s clear this isn’t just a trend—it’s the future. Would you hop in and let go? Or do you still need that human touch? Let’s talk in the comments!👇 📖 Read more from Mobility Masterclass: https://lnkd.in/eEw3sEt2 🔗 #JiYue01 #AutonomousDriving #EVRevolution #MobilityMasterclass

Une analyse très intéressante de Mathieu Nicaise qui met en lumière les développements impressionnants en Chine dans le domaine de la mobilité autonome. Curieux de voir ce qu'il s'y passe? Nous organisons un voyage d'étude en Chine du 16 au 23 août 2025 pour rencontrer les entreprises et autorités publiques chinoises qui façonnent cette révolution technologique.
