Show Notes
-
01:51DIMO's vision for mobilityDIMO's vision for mobility is to create a decentralized and integrated system where individuals at the edge of the network can actively participate. Concerned about companies having too much control over transportation, DIMO wants to help people bring vehicles and systems online.
-
04:13DIMOs tackling of fragmentation in the automotive industryBy standardizing information from over 50 automakers and creating an open platform, DIMO facilitates the connection of cars to the internet. The goal is to provide developers with a unified system for building improved maintenance applications and peer-to-peer car-sharing systems.
-
06:02Overcoming challenges in car data accessDIMOs hardware plugs into a federally mandated universal port and right-to-repair principles ensure consumers can access the data from their vehicles. In addition, OEMs are increasingly sensitive to public opinion, making them less likely to restrict consumer access to data.
-
07:55Car data use casesCar data provides valuable insights for maintenance, new vehicle purchases, product development, and insurance discounts. Future benefits include stolen vehicle recovery, monitoring teen driving, and understanding vehicle usage when the owner is absent.
-
10:13The future of mobility in transit dense citiesConnecting various modes of transportation to a common system enables more effective coordination, optimizing limited space in transit-dense cities. As cars become more automated, a common layer for negotiation and payment for road usage could enhance transit systems.
-
12:22Using data to improve parkingAutomated parking systems will see significant utility in bus yards and with the widespread adoption of self-driving cars. However, this will require a systems-level approach and a common layer for seamless vehicle interfacing and coordination.
-
14:23 Fast tracking innovation in mobility applicationsDIMO's platform mitigates challenges in transportation tech development, cutting development timelines and costs. It streamlines access for developers, placing their apps in front of thousands and minimizing the interactions needed to create mobility applications.
-
17:00Mobility data, AI, and human centered autonomyAs AI becomes more prevalent in vehicles, the hope is that it will be deployed in a human-centric way. In this approach, the data is accessible, systems are transparent, and it integrates seamlessly into people's lives rather than feeling forced.
Quotes
-
"As AI gets better and software gets cheaper to make, there's going to be an incredible amount of value in having historical data from your car." - Andy Chatham
-
"Beyond past data, the real-time utility of car data includes alerts about events like car towing, theft, teen driving behavior, and how your vehicle is being used when you're not in it." - Andy Chatham
-
"When you're able to unlock better coordination by connecting vehicles to a common system, allowing them to share data, and organize more effectively, you get more out of that space." - Andy Chatham
-
"As cars become more automated, there's going to be increasing benefits to having them on a common layer and having them able to negotiate for space on the road." - Andy Chatham
-
"The primary challenge in developing mobility apps for connected vehicles is user connectivity. We've addressed this with an app store-like platform, enabling quick software deployment to 40,000 users with a single click." - Andy Chatham
