Deep FutureUrban Transportation ＆ the Truth about Garbage — Assaf BidermanAbout two billion people that are going to move into cities by 2050 and with that growth, the demand for efficient transportation is going to increase dramatically. In an era where we’re already seeing inefficiencies in urban mobility having a massive impact on the economy, public health and environmental health, it’s hard to imagine a future of transportation that doesn’t border utter chaos. Cognizant of these projected problems, Assaf Biderman, is working on solutions that harness the power of artificial intelligence, robotics and other technologies that are already within our reach. Assaf is founder and CEO of Superp...2022-01-1652 min
Michelson Alexander Explains..."We need to look at systems, not just vehicles" - MA Explains... AI, Liveable Cities & MicromobilityThis week, we're very lucky to be joined by one of the world's most creative minds to discuss all things artificial intelligence, and big, city-reshaping tech.
Assaf Biderman has a big CV. He is the CEO and co-founder of transportation robotics company Superpedestrian, a client of ours. And he is a founding member and Associate Director of the Senseable City Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
On this episode, we pick Assaf's brain about the ways A.I. is already being used (hint: it's way more than you might think) and quiz him about how A.I. can...2021-12-1737 min

Ride AI54: Unpacking the Impact of Intelligent Micromobility with Superpedestrian CEO, Assaf BidermanIn today’s episode Oliver interviews Assaf Biderman, CEO of [SuperPedestrian](https://superpedestrian.com/), about his background founding the MIT Senseable Cities Lab and then Superpedestrian. Assaf has been thinking about micromobility longer than most anyone we’ve had on the podcast - this was a fun and very illuminating interview.
This conversation convinced Oliver that the ‘intelligence’ that can be infused into micromobility devices has far deeper implications than first thought, especially for driving down operational costs and improving vehicle longevity.
Specifically we dig into:
- The context for why micromobility is such a boon compared to the other transpor...2020-01-0754 min
