Automotive Brands Exploring Alternatives for Car Ownership [INFOGRAPHIC]

The amount of car brands that explore alternatives for car ownership is increasing rapidly. Manufacturers are starting to see the urgency to experiment with business models that are focused on car as a service rather than car ownership.

Hoe sturen we de zelfrijdende auto de juiste richting op?

De mobiliteitssector is verantwoordelijk voor ongeveer 17% van de wereldwijde energie-gerelateerde CO2-uitstoot en is de grootste luchtvervuiler van steden. De verstedelijking, de toenemende vraag naar transport en de groeiende wereldbevolking zal deze druk alleen maar meer opvoeren. Er is een ommezwaai nodig in de mobiliteits wereld. De komst van de elektrische, autonome auto wordt geprezen als dé oplossing. Maar de verwachte lagere kosten per rit, het vermogen om de auto te gebruiken voor werk of vrijetijdsbesteding en het creëren van nieuwe mobiliteitsvraag bij jongeren, ouderen en mensen met een beperking zal alleen maar leiden tot hoger autogebruik. De Universiteit van Amsterdam en shareNL hebben samen een literatuurstudie gedaan naar gangbare theorieën rondom autonome voertuigen. Zij concluderen dat tenzij de ontwikkeling naar volledig autonome voertuigen slim wordt ingericht, onder andere door ritten delen te stimuleren, de ontwikkeling naar volledig autonome voertuigen niet tot de broodnodige duurzame mobiliteitsrevolutie zal leiden.

Waarom de Netflix voor auto's niet bestaat en we toch kunnen afkicken van onze autoverslaving

"Waarom is er nog geen Netflix voor auto's?" vraagt de gefrustreerde millennial zich af. En terecht, want autobezit zoals we dat kennen sinds de revolutionaire T-Ford zijn entree maakte, lijkt niet toekomstbestendig. In de zoektocht naar het beste alternatief hiervoor komen de termen 'betalen voor gebruik', ‘Platform economie’ of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS)' vaak voorbij. Wat denk jij, gaan we onze auto’s net zo makkelijk weg doen als onze DVD collectie?

Cities and self driving cars

"Sharing is the way to make cities better and autonomous cars are just the means"

How will self driving cars re-invent and shape our cities, and what consequences and opportunities will they bring? We reached out to Ananda Groag (Share nl), and Anne Knol (Friends of the Earth Netherlands): shared mobility experts to give us their opinion. Read their insightful piece on what cities should take into consideration with the advent of autonomous vehicles.

My story as an intern | Simone

From the beginning of September up until now, shareNL has functioned as my personal training ground. I could put the skills I learned during my study International Lifestyle Studies into practice, working on several trend research- and concept development projects. Of course this immediate change from being a student to being a full-time intern came with some challenges. After all, real business cases never turn out the way you read in your text books. However all of those bumps along the road and 'firsts' I experienced in the past 5 months taught me some very important lessons. With the slogan 'sharing is caring' in mind, I will share these lessons with you in my story as an intern.

A future with AI : human form of tech

In order to determine what way a future with Artificial Intelligence is going, it is important to first look at the things we see happening in society as a whole. We looked out for products and services with future potential and connected them to shared values to spot trends. These trends are focussed on the near future since the first signs of them are already visible in the world we know today. Nonetheless they might become bigger over time as the drivers behind them evolve. For now, let’s see what is ahead is of us starting with; A human form of tech!

Collaboration in Cities: from sharing to 'sharing economy'

The World Economic Forum’s Collaboration in Cities: From Sharing to “Sharing Economy” has just been released. We as shareNL contributed to this whitepaper that addresses key terminology, motivation and benefits, and both the opportunities and challenges that cities encounter when approaching the new models of sharing. The different case studies from cities around the world – including Seattle, London, New York, Melbourne, Sao Paulo, Kigali (Rwanda), Seoul, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Kamaishi (Japan) – show how sharing is transforming citizens’ lives, boosting social cohesion and even protecting the environment.

A future with AI (II)

Although there are already plenty of examples of success stories of Artificial Intelligence, there still are a lot of challenges that this new technology is facing or, in a near future, will have to face. For this blogpost in our series 'A future with AI' we talked to experts with different perspectives to get a clear view of what these challenges are and will be. We discovered that the challenges could be categorized into two groups. Some of these challenges have to do with the optimization of the technology itself, while others relate to the actual implementation. Let’s dive into what bumps we can expect along the future road of Artificial Intelligence.

De zelfrijdende auto dreigt ons met een gigantisch verkeersprobleem op te zadelen

De zelfrijdende auto maakt rijden zo gemakkelijk, dat files, vervuiling en druk op de openbare ruimte alleen maar toe zullen nemen, betogen Anne Knol van Milieudefensie en Ananda Groag van ShareNL. Tijd dat beleidsmakers werk maken van het delen van auto's.

A future with AI (I)

We tend to underestimate the speed of how new technologies will revolutionize the Sharing and Platform Economy and society as a whole. We, shareNL, see an urgent need to start a conversation on these topics to seize all the opportunities they offer and also to address the applicable challenges . This is why we decided to dive in to Artificial Intelligence. In this short series of blogposts we will take you on a journey through the world of AI with its definition, its challenges, future trends and scenarios.

Japanese Delegation visits The Netherlands to learn about sharing economy

In recent years local governments in the Netherlands, most notably in the city of Amsterdam, have been very active on creating a well-functioning sharing economy ecosystem. This has led to the emergence of numerous successful companies such as Peerby, Konnektid and Snappcar. In Japan similar initiatives are taking place, mainly led by a group of dedicated ‘sharing’ companies. Developments are however still in a rather early stage.

The recipe for a future with Artificial Intelligence and Sharing/Platform Economy

Artificial Intelligence is a term that we hear a lot these days. You could even say it is hyped, but does that mean that we know exactly what it is? At shareNL we believe it is important to start the conversation about the new technologies that are emerging in order to seize the opportunities they offer, as well as addressing the challenges they create. Therefore, on the 6th of October, several experts were invited to talk about how Artificial Intelligence could impact the Sharing/Platform Economy. In other words, what would the recipe of a future with both these developments look like?

Amsterdam Sharing City Trip 2017

The winds of sharing economy are quietly entering the eastern world from the western countries. Since the Sharing Economy Association, Japan(SEAJ) was officially established in 2016, we began to study the cases abroad, and try to find good references for Japan's future development of sharing economy. Through research, we found out that Amsterdam has been declared as the first "Sharing City" in Europe and their story was spread by, among others, the independent knowledge and networking platform, shareNL. In order to gain a better understanding of the development in Amsterdam, SEAJ has actively been communicating with shareNL during the last year. Since SEAJ is also a private organization, their case is undoubtedly valuable for us to learn from.

Experiencing the sharing economy: Lena

Since 7 months I am a proud Lena member because it makes it easier to stand by my principles and enjoy fashion without the guilt of having double standards. It’s important to help these platforms and initiatives emerge and prove that there is a demand for alternative and conscious ways of using items. Start with what you are wearing!

THE KEY TO UNLOCKING SHARING CITIES

Approximately 70% of the world population will be living in cities by 2050, therefore I believe - having studied Global Sustainable Cities at the University of Strathclyde in the past year - that efforts improving cities will have far reaching transformational effects.
