Show Notes

In this episode, Horace and Oliver discuss vehicle standards and classifications based on Horace's recent discussions with the Society of Automotive Engineers.


Specifically, the cover:


- What are automotive standards, why are they important, and how does this change how we look at the world?


- The history of the term 'microcomputing' and how the significance of this faded away over time, and what parallels we might be able to see with mobility.


- How is the SAE thinking about classifying micromobility vehicles, and what are the likely implications of this


- What variables regulators should be thinking about when looking at vehicles, and which they should avoid (hint: speed)


- What value the German system for classifying low-powered electric vehicles could offer globally


- The parallels to Horace's time at Nokia, and how he foresaw the rise of the battle of iOS and Android.
