The “Transportation Cloud”: The societal change that will come with autonomous cars:

Fascinating but also a rather one sided analysis by Zack Kanter on the implications of self driving cars:

"Industry experts think that consumers will be slow to purchase autonomous cars – while this may be true, it is a mistake to assume that this will impede the transition. Morgan Stanley’s research shows that cars are driven just 4% of the time,5 which is an astonishing waste considering that the average cost of car ownership is nearly $9,000 per year.6 Next to a house, an automobile is the second most expensive asset that most people will ever buy – it is no surprise that ride sharing services like Uber and car sharing services like Zipcar are quickly gaining popularity as an alternative to car ownership. It is now more economical to use a ride sharing service if you live in a city and drive less than 10,000 miles per year."

And

"A Columbia University study suggested that with a fleet of just 9,000 autonomous cars, Uber could replace every taxi cab in New York City13 – passengers would wait an average of 36 seconds for a ride that costs about $0.50 per mile.14 Such convenience and low cost will make car ownership inconceivable, and autonomous, on-demand taxis – the ‘transportation cloud’ – will quickly become dominant form of transportation – displacing far more than just car ownership, it will take the majority of users away from public transportation as well. With their $41 billion valuation,15 replacing all 171,000 taxis16  in the United States is well within the realm of feasibility – at a cost of $25,000 per car, the rollout would cost a mere $4.3 billion."

This will lead to less cars on the road:

"PricewaterhouseCoopers predicts that the number of vehicles on the road will be reduced by 99%, estimating that the fleet will fall from 245 million to just 2.4 million vehicles."

..and to an immensely increased additional disposable income that can go elsewhere:

"despite the job loss and wholesale destruction of industries, eliminating the needs for car ownership will yield over $1 trillion in additional disposable income – and that is going to usher in an era of unprecedented efficiency, innovation, and job creation."

Make sure to read his article on more of the implications that such a change in car usage would bring. (And don’t believe everything timing wise.)

Europes war on tech, French edition: Liam Boogar at The Rude Baguette:

This week, France’s cultural minister and former digital minister Fleur Pellerin announced that Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited service, which provides a Spotify-like model for reading books, would be declared illegal, as it is seen as abusing the rights of authors. Inadvertently, of course, the model also puts a noose around the neck of local French startup Youboox, which raised €1.1 Million back in 2013 to push their ‘Spotify for Books’ model.

Mobile implications:

Quartz about Benedict Evans, the analyst who is working for a16z and is being quoted by seemingly everyone for a while now:

The presentation, “Mobile eats the world,” is succinct (13 minutes), and worth devoting a quarter hour to viewing. But to boil it down even further for you, Evans makes two big world-view shattering points: 1) the digital processing power—the number of chips multiplied by the number of transistors on those chips—abroad in the world today is several orders of magnitude greater than during the pre-Web era of computing. 2) The ubiquity of technology—robust processing power in the compact, individualized-but-always-connected form of a phone—has made technology no longer a separate industry but an integral element of every industry.

The first implication of Evans’s point of view—which he sometimes expresses as ‘time for new questions’—is that monster valuations of the so-called unicorns can no longer be seen as the sign of a bubble. If you were to simply swivel your point of view upon Evans’s axis—from computing’s past to mobile’s future—you would see the looming magnitude of inserting software (via smartphones, now, and wearable sensors and controls, later) into nearly every human endeavor.
