FUTURE

2 Pa g eINSIDE: Mercedes Concept Driverless Electric

I read that no one can predict the future and that this fact alone makes it a worthwhile endeavor. The simple act of trying to predict the future made future “predicators” much better at making estimated guesses over time than those who did not. It's a low-risk proposition regardless, as no one can accurately predict the future expectations should remain low.Yet, more and more, this is what we are asked to do, and it appears that the expectation for accuracy is rising. When it comes to consulting we do the research. A lot of research. This process is something that Elon Musk refers to as finding the "Recursive Y." We know X is going to happen, we can therefore afford to be liberal with our predictions on the Y. In strategy, its necessary to know the X (the “what”), not quite so much the Y (the exact “when”).

3 Pa g eINSIDE: Mercedes Concept Driverless ElectricIn the process of trying to communicate potential scenarios for the future we have observed a number of things. People older than 25 tend to have blinkers on and high amounts of resistance at how overwhelming it can seem. They struggle to understand it and see much as radical and unfathomable. People under 25 have a much better grasp and engage positively. Not all. Most. People are resistant to change, however we have found that incumbent generations over 25 can be easily swayed by emerging generations and proliferation of information. Often we are asked “so what makes you sure you know what’s going to be adopted?” Well, we don’t know 100%, (no one can predict the future), but we have asked ourselves the same question. To this end we have now developed a framework that we believe does a very good job of identifying future trends based on some extremely sound research. Some of these tools are allowing us to pinpoint and place the “Recursive Y.”

We have noticed that almost everyone does it in some degree: Businesses form strategies based on vision statements, sometimes 5 years out. We try to predict lotto numbers, predict the right person to marry, plan our careers, sign leases for 2 years in advance. We set personal goals for ourselves.

We noticed that goal setting works. So we are not worried about evaluating data and getting it wrong. So far we have hit more home runs than not.

Statistically we are more likely to fail than we are to succeed. Of course, when embarking on a new venture no one wants to fail, but by taking the risk of failure and embracing it we have been able to freely extrapolate in a way that has secured success. Odd eh?

This is not yet widely known.Ford Model T 1908 is a good example of American style, perfect look and high quality car produced by famous American multinational automaker Ford which was founded by Henry Ford in 1903. Ford Model T 1908 is one of the most successful vehicles marketed by the company.

Henry Ford was determined to build a simple, reliable and affordable car; a car the average American worker could afford. Out of this determination came the Model T and the assembly line - two innovations that revolutionized American society and molded the world we live in today.

An assembly line is a pre cursor to the same methodology as process automation.

stats &reportsSeven major companies, including Nissan and Cadillac, claim they’ll have driverless cars ready for the market by 2020. By 2030, according to a National League of Cities study, driverless cars will be “ubiquitous with everyday life.” Chinese hi-tech firm Baidu has unveiled a plan to let driverless vehicles range freely around an entire city.The five-year plan will see the autonomous cars, vans and buses slowly introduced to the eastern city of Wuhu.Initially no passengers will be carried by the vehicles as the technology to control them is refined via journeys along designated test zones.Eventually the test areas will be expanded and passengers will be able to use the vehicles."They want to be the first city in the world to embrace autonomous driving," said Wang Jing, Baidu's head of driverless cars, in an interview with the BBC's Click programme. Los Angeles to get on-demand 'driverless buses' Passengers will be picked up by using an app. For the last 15 years, Oregon has been exploring a replacement to the gas tax based on vehicle miles traveled, a more accurate and fairer way to make sure drivers pay for the roads they enjoy. In the Oregon pilot project, a volunteer plugs a device into their vehicle that records miles driven and fuel consumed, and is sent an invoice or a refund depending on the state gas tax already paid at the pump. French-made driverless electric bus to be trialled in Perth by RAC9 Feb 2016, 9:04pmThe electric shuttle bus can carry 15 passengers at speeds up to 45 kilometres per hour.

Sitting in a driverless electric with an internet connection allows anyone the opportunity to catch up on email etc via tablet or phone on the way to and from work. Morgan Stanley estimates that in 2030, cars will drive more than 19.6 billion miles worldwide, far higher than the 10.2 billion they traveled in 2015. That pace of growth is much higher than the estimated production of cars and light vehicles during the same period. The natural solution appears to be more shared vehicles. Shared cars—taxis and cars operated by ride-sharing companies, but not car rental—in 2015 accounted for 4% of global miles traveled, but by 2030, Morgan Stanley estimates that number could reach 26%. ABI Research: Smart Mobility on the Rise: Global Electric Vehicle Revenue to Hit $58 Billion in 2021 In about 2 years, you'll be chauffeured around in driverless cars on highwaysWithin ten years, roads will be full of driverless cars.

Florida allowed driverless cars to test its roads in 2012. Michigan joined the queue in 2013, with the proviso that a human driver be in the car. California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill that legalized the cars at Google headquarters in 2015.SingaporeStarting from January 2016, citizens could hail driverless Citymobil2 shuttles on protected roads in the city-state. Singapore aims to extend the service to driverless taxis by Summer 2016 and, from there, to public roads by 2018. Citymobil2 is a French program that promotes driverless shuttles in prominent areas of the European Union.GreeceBattery-powered buses started trekking Trikala, a small Greek village, in November 2015. The project was piloted by Citymobil2 and tech organization Robosfot. Trips began with no passengers, but the vehicles started transporting people in March 2016.

SwedenSweden's second-largest city, Gothenburg, will allow 100 DriveMe Volvo customers to test autonomous Volvo XC90 automobiles on certain roads by 2017. Sweden aims to make its cars death-proof by 2020. Part of its plans are to test and safe-proof the driverless car. AmsterdamDutch infrastructure minister Melanie Schultz is pushing for laws to allow driverless cars to hit Dutch roads. Meanwhile, the Citymobil2 V201 buzzes the Wageningen and Ede route in the center of the Netherlands at 15 mph. Dutch citizens can schedule a ride on the six passenger-carrying buses by using an app that programs the pickup location and destination. EnglandIn the United Kingdom, the town of Milton Keynes is testing driverless pods. As of April 2016, only 20 driverless pods cruised the region. The Engineer newspaper reported that by 2017, England will have 80 more of these pods. London is in the wings, with its GATEway project that aims to solidly test these autonomous vehicles before opening them to the public. SwitzerlandCitymobil2 paired with robotics company Robosoft and vehicle manufacturer Ligier Group to bring its electric shuttle to a university campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. As of April 2016, the bus, which was still in its test phase, carried only six passengers and drove up to 15 mph. ChinaChinese company Yutong (600066.SS) hit the streets of Zhengzhou, China, with its own trial driverless bus that logs 20 mph. As of April 2016, the service was still in its testing phase. JapanJapan plans to show off its commercialized driverless taxis for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. Mobile internet company DeNa Co. Ltd. (OTC: DNACF) paired with ZMP, a robotics company, to create Robot Taxi. Residents in Fujisawa, Japan, were the first to test it, with a human in the driver’s seat. FinlandThe slim, white Citymobil2 Ez10 shuttle was introduced in Vantaa, Finland, in early 2015. By October of that year, the shuttles had successfully transported 19,000 passengers. Members of the public access it with the same app that Citymobil2 uses to reserve trips on its Ez10 in the Netherlands.

The mid 1930s were the heyday of Batten's flying career. After two failed attempts to fly from England to Australia in 1933 she successfully completed a return journey in May 1934. Although the route had been flown in one direction or another over 30 times, Batten’s gender and her beauty captured huge media attention. Her attention-grabbing flights continued. In November 1935 she became the first woman to fly herself across the South Atlantic. In October 1936 she went one step further and made the first ever direct flight from England to New Zealand.
