Purpose
Provide safe, sustainable and affordable solutions to serve the mobility needs of our urbanizing world
Problem: Cities face new challenges
Current solutions:
Taxes and charges
Fuel, vehicle, emission taxes
Congestion and parking charges
Subsidies
Alternative fuels and infrastructure
Alternative fuels vehicles
Public transport
Bans
Conventional vehicles in city centers
By 2050, 70% of the world population will live in cities
Current transport systems relying heavily on conventional cars, can not sustainably support that growth.
Urban areas are experiencing pollution, congestion, noise and waste of public real estate.
Cities face increased demand for mobility as population grows.
Current solutions:
Problem: Operators face new challenges
Rigid and costly systems
Bus fixed lines
Bus rapid transit
Metro and tram lines
Subsidies
Infrastructure
Consumer fares
Economic limitations from an infrastructure investment as well as an operational profitability perspective.
Challenges to increase or even maintain the level and quality of service to their customers.
Fixed schedules and mass transport modes to provide mobility to the largest number of the population have limitations.
Current solutions:
Problem: Consumers are stuck in traffic and pollution
Non motorized
Limited range
Public transport
Rigid
Inefficient
Car
Expensive
Dangerous
Polluting
Waste of time
Customers have a diverse behaviors towards mobility.
Because high ownership costs, traffic and scarce parking, consumers are willing to move away from car ownership when given a convenient alternative. Even though new mobility models are emerging, those alternatives are not yet convenient enough.
A large volume of trips are made with personally owned vehicles with low occupancy rate leading to congestion and pollution.
75% of journeys are characterised by pain-points.
Mobility: The solution is shared, sustainable and autonomous
Driverless
Autonomous vehicles means less death on the roads as well
as safer, affordable and efficient mobility
Shared vehicles and rides
Less vehicles means less congestion, emissions, pollution and translates
into affordable mobility
Sustainable
Electric, lightweight, upgradable, recyclable vehicles
means less pollution and emissions

Upgrades
The world is dynamic, so is the system. From fleet mix extension to vehicles upgrades, you are covered.
Project Scoping and fleet commissioningWe dive into your application to provide fleet sizing and define the vehicle specifications. We then setup the operation.
Fleet Operation
We handle fleet operation and vehicles maintenance and provide peace of mind.
We check, inspect and test every operational component and validate the system.
You are not locked in a rigid configuration or into infrastructure and investments.
Operation timeline
Scoping and operations studyNetwork study, on site reconnaissance, social data gathering.Application definition: Number of vehicles, support team and resources.Full project plan with deliverables, milestones, timing, budget and integration.
Deliverable: Demand validation, operation sizing recommendation and impact report. (Operational costs benefits, service level, exposure, …)
Scope4 to 6 weeks
Operation timeline
Site prep, integration and testingOperational setup, vehicle maintenance location prep, system integration with other modes of transport (operator system integration or city network integration), human machine interface setup, control center setup, vehicles delivery and testing, system validation. (Certification if required)

Are automated vehicles safe?Yes, AVs have multiple sensors continuously scanning the environment to detect, identify and avoid obstacles. AVs don’t get distracted. They have reaction times faster than a human and have backup safety systems. How does an autonomous vehicle avoid an obstacle? How does it avoid a child running across the street?AVs use overlapping sensors like RADAR, LIDAR and cameras to detect objects in their path. These sensors see “everything” within a 200m radius. The sensors will usually see the child approaching before a human driver will. The sensors and software will identify the approaching human and adjust speed if required and prepare to stop. If there is no warning or if the child darts from a blind spot - the AV will have a nearly instantaneous emergency stop about 10x faster than a typical human response.
Is it legal? Are automated vehicle operations allowed? Yes, private property like airports, universities, planned communities have the authority to allow AVs. Public authorities are also allowing limited or supervised operation on public roadways with more legislation being introduced and passed every year.
Can’t AVs be hacked?AVs may be hacked, but the key is to keep the safety critical applications off-line and therefore isolated from hackers.
Who is liable if there is an accident? How does insurance work?Manufacturers of AVs assume the liability of tech failures that result in accidents. The manufacturers will carry liability insurance to manage the risk.
How is a system certified?Currently AV certification is a combination of automotive certification standards and automated machine certification. There are a few agencies providing 3rd party certification of AVs and LM works with them, insurance companies and the regulators to ensure the safety of the AWESOME system.
