Personal Electric Vehicles and the Cities of Tomorrow | Ryan Evans | TEDxHarkerSchool

my company’s called inboard technology

my company’s called inboard technology and we’re a company that’s focused on

and we’re a company that’s focused on

and we’re a company that’s focused on completely revolutionising the personal

completely revolutionising the personal

completely revolutionising the personal electric vehicle industry now personal

electric vehicle industry now personal

electric vehicle industry now personal electric vehicles are probably new to

electric vehicles are probably new to

electric vehicles are probably new to most people you might not have heard

most people you might not have heard

most people you might not have heard that term before and that’s because

that term before and that’s because

that term before and that’s because Transportation is changing at the

Transportation is changing at the

Transportation is changing at the fastest time ever in the last 100 years

fastest time ever in the last 100 years

fastest time ever in the last 100 years so that today I’m going to talk to you

so that today I’m going to talk to you

so that today I’m going to talk to you about the ways that we’re getting around

about the ways that we’re getting around

about the ways that we’re getting around specifically urban areas today and how

specifically urban areas today and how

specifically urban areas today and how big of a shift we’re gonna see over the

big of a shift we’re gonna see over the

big of a shift we’re gonna see over the next ten years and how products like the

next ten years and how products like the

next ten years and how products like the inboard m1 here are going to become a

inboard m1 here are going to become a

inboard m1 here are going to become a staple of this new transportation

staple of this new transportation

staple of this new transportation paradigm shift up who remember seeing

paradigm shift up who remember seeing

paradigm shift up who remember seeing these things it was like 2002 they came

these things it was like 2002 they came

these things it was like 2002 they came out they were $12,000 I really really

out they were $12,000 I really really

out they were $12,000 I really really wanted one they were super cool and

wanted one they were super cool and

wanted one they were super cool and everyone talked about how they were

everyone talked about how they were

everyone talked about how they were gonna completely change the way that we

gonna completely change the way that we

gonna completely change the way that we got around urban areas how we actually

got around urban areas how we actually

got around urban areas how we actually did transportation and they were super

did transportation and they were super

did transportation and they were super cool and was a great technology and it

cool and was a great technology and it

cool and was a great technology and it was a great need for personal mobility

was a great need for personal mobility

was a great need for personal mobility but there are a few huge challenges Dean

but there are a few huge challenges Dean

but there are a few huge challenges Dean came in one of the creators of the

came in one of the creators of the

came in one of the creators of the Segway talked about Segway parking lots

Segway talked about Segway parking lots

Segway talked about Segway parking lots Segway charging stations can you imagine

Segway charging stations can you imagine

Segway charging stations can you imagine trying to get a Segway like this into an

trying to get a Segway like this into an

trying to get a Segway like this into an elevator like not gonna happen and so it

elevator like not gonna happen and so it

elevator like not gonna happen and so it was a great technology but it was a

was a great technology but it was a

was a great technology but it was a technology that was trying to get

technology that was trying to get

technology that was trying to get society to change for it

society to change for it

society to change for it and I remember back in you know kind of

and I remember back in you know kind of

and I remember back in you know kind of the mid 1990s there was a show on

the mid 1990s there was a show on

the mid 1990s there was a show on Discovery Channel called beyond 2000 and

Discovery Channel called beyond 2000 and

Discovery Channel called beyond 2000 and they would talk about all these new

they would talk about all these new

they would talk about all these new technologies that was gonna happen

technologies that was gonna happen

technologies that was gonna happen and one was self-driving cars and they

and one was self-driving cars and they

and one was self-driving cars and they were gonna put these pucks in the roads

were gonna put these pucks in the roads

were gonna put these pucks in the roads like built into the roads these metal

like built into the roads these metal

like built into the roads these metal pucks that would have magnets and as the

pucks that would have magnets and as the

pucks that would have magnets and as the cars would drive over them they would

cars would drive over them they would

cars would drive over them they would read the pucks and they would know where

read the pucks and they would know where

read the pucks and they would know where to go you know here we are 30 years

to go you know here we are 30 years

to go you know here we are 30 years later and there’s no pucks in any roads

later and there’s no pucks in any roads

later and there’s no pucks in any roads we’ve created technology that works

we’ve created technology that works

we’ve created technology that works within society it’s very difficult to

within society it’s very difficult to

within society it’s very difficult to try and get society to change for your

try and get society to change for your

try and get society to change for your new technology and invention so what

new technology and invention so what

new technology and invention so what ended up happening with segways well

ended up happening with segways well

ended up happening with segways well unfortunately they kind of went to mall

unfortunately they kind of went to mall

unfortunately they kind of went to mall cops and police like this and there’s a

cops and police like this and there’s a

cops and police like this and there’s a lot of really good YouTube videos of

lot of really good YouTube videos of

lot of really good YouTube videos of people falling and getting hurt

people falling and getting hurt

people falling and getting hurt this is

this is

this is your traditional Segway taking off and

your traditional Segway taking off and

your traditional Segway taking off and then this one’s difficult to see but

then this one’s difficult to see but

then this one’s difficult to see but it’s Usain Bolt the fastest man in the

it’s Usain Bolt the fastest man in the

it’s Usain Bolt the fastest man in the world with the cameraman next to him and

world with the cameraman next to him and

world with the cameraman next to him and him swooping and taking him out so this

him swooping and taking him out so this

him swooping and taking him out so this was 2002 Segway was created it was

was 2002 Segway was created it was

was 2002 Segway was created it was $12,000 a few years later we had this

$12,000 a few years later we had this

$12,000 a few years later we had this 2015 and this was about 300 or 400

2015 and this was about 300 or 400

2015 and this was about 300 or 400 dollars so what happened in that period

dollars so what happened in that period

dollars so what happened in that period of time we saw a lot of new innovations

of time we saw a lot of new innovations

of time we saw a lot of new innovations and mobile devices and drones and

and mobile devices and drones and

and mobile devices and drones and reduction and battery costs and that’s

reduction and battery costs and that’s

reduction and battery costs and that’s what we were able to get the product so

what we were able to get the product so

what we were able to get the product so much cheaper unfortunately even though

much cheaper unfortunately even though

much cheaper unfortunately even though it was cheaper it was still inherently

it was cheaper it was still inherently

it was cheaper it was still inherently the same problem it was very unstable

the same problem it was very unstable

the same problem it was very unstable and if you just go into you type

and if you just go into you type

and if you just go into you type hoverboard fail there’s no shortage of

hoverboard fail there’s no shortage of

hoverboard fail there’s no shortage of really great videos well my personal

really great videos well my personal

really great videos well my personal favorites is Mike Tyson here uh-huh so

favorites is Mike Tyson here uh-huh so

favorites is Mike Tyson here uh-huh so again you know Segway was great

again you know Segway was great

again you know Segway was great everybody really liked the idea of it

everybody really liked the idea of it

everybody really liked the idea of it was too big it was too heavy it was way

was too big it was too heavy it was way

was too big it was too heavy it was way too expensive then he starts his shift

too expensive then he starts his shift

too expensive then he starts his shift and you go into hoverboards and it’s

and you go into hoverboards and it’s

and you go into hoverboards and it’s more affordable it’s lighter weight it’s

more affordable it’s lighter weight it’s

more affordable it’s lighter weight it’s more compact but it’s still inherently

more compact but it’s still inherently

more compact but it’s still inherently stable and so if you’re looking at this

stable and so if you’re looking at this

stable and so if you’re looking at this from like a macro kind of investment

from like a macro kind of investment

from like a macro kind of investment perspective you’re starting to see these

perspective you’re starting to see these

perspective you’re starting to see these little blips but they don’t kind of

little blips but they don’t kind of

little blips but they don’t kind of stick around and then there’s another

stick around and then there’s another

stick around and then there’s another blip and it doesn’t stick around so but

blip and it doesn’t stick around so but

blip and it doesn’t stick around so but it does show that there’s an interest

it does show that there’s an interest

it does show that there’s an interest here that people want freedom of

here that people want freedom of

here that people want freedom of mobility they want lightweight electric

mobility they want lightweight electric

mobility they want lightweight electric vehicles that they can take with them

vehicles that they can take with them

vehicles that they can take with them and this mark is called personal

rida bowls are defined by being lightweight so under 25 pounds the m1

lightweight so under 25 pounds the m1

lightweight so under 25 pounds the m1 here is 15 pounds so I can easily pick

here is 15 pounds so I can easily pick

here is 15 pounds so I can easily pick it up and I can take it with me

it up and I can take it with me

it up and I can take it with me it’s got to be energy efficient so it’s

it’s got to be energy efficient so it’s

it’s got to be energy efficient so it’s electric you know that’s gonna allow me

electric you know that’s gonna allow me

electric you know that’s gonna allow me to use it and keep the cost of ownership

to use it and keep the cost of ownership

to use it and keep the cost of ownership very very low it’s got to be clean it’s

very very low it’s got to be clean it’s

very very low it’s got to be clean it’s got to be green and it’s gotta be

got to be green and it’s gotta be

got to be green and it’s gotta be compact and it has to go anywhere and

compact and it has to go anywhere and

compact and it has to go anywhere and the great thing about personal electric

the great thing about personal electric

the great thing about personal electric vehicles is that if I need to jump in

vehicles is that if I need to jump in

vehicles is that if I need to jump in the back of an uber if I have to get off

the back of an uber if I have to get off

the back of an uber if I have to get off a train if I have to go on a bus it

a train if I have to go on a bus it

a train if I have to go on a bus it works within society as we currently

works within society as we currently

works within society as we currently live today it’s not like the Segway

live today it’s not like the Segway

live today it’s not like the Segway where you needed Segway parking lots I

where you needed Segway parking lots I

where you needed Segway parking lots I can take this thing with me wherever I

can take this thing with me wherever I

can take this thing with me wherever I want throw in the back of my car throw

want throw in the back of my car throw

want throw in the back of my car throw it underneath a coffee table if I’m

and so it really lives with me and this

and so it really lives with me and this is it it’s the m1 what we wanted to do

is it it’s the m1 what we wanted to do

is it it’s the m1 what we wanted to do is create the coolest most streamline

is create the coolest most streamline

is create the coolest most streamline person electric vehicle that’s ever been

inherently unstable if you hit a bump on

inherently unstable if you hit a bump on one of those it becomes you know very

one of those it becomes you know very

one of those it becomes you know very unstable and you start to fall down and

unstable and you start to fall down and

unstable and you start to fall down and our goal while launching with this

our goal while launching with this

our goal while launching with this product is to slowly create a complete

product is to slowly create a complete

product is to slowly create a complete ecosystem of products and different form

ecosystem of products and different form

ecosystem of products and different form factors that are safe easy to use and

factors that are safe easy to use and

factors that are safe easy to use and allow you to get around an urban area

allow you to get around an urban area

allow you to get around an urban area with ease and so the big opportunity

with ease and so the big opportunity

with ease and so the big opportunity here and the one thing I really want to

here and the one thing I really want to

here and the one thing I really want to drive home today is whether you want to

drive home today is whether you want to

drive home today is whether you want to get on electric skateboard or a scooter

get on electric skateboard or a scooter

get on electric skateboard or a scooter or a different mobility platform cities

or a different mobility platform cities

or a different mobility platform cities are changing and transportation is

are changing and transportation is

are changing and transportation is changing massively and for the first

changing massively and for the first

changing massively and for the first time in about a hundred years we can

time in about a hundred years we can

time in about a hundred years we can reshape our cities and a hundred years

reshape our cities and a hundred years

reshape our cities and a hundred years ago if you were in a city they had

ago if you were in a city they had

ago if you were in a city they had pollution for transportation

pollution for transportation

pollution for transportation unfortunately the pollution was from a

unfortunately the pollution was from a

unfortunately the pollution was from a horse it was a very different type of

horse it was a very different type of

horse it was a very different type of pollution we don’t have to worry about

pollution we don’t have to worry about

pollution we don’t have to worry about those things anymore we have a different

those things anymore we have a different

those things anymore we have a different type of pollution and now we want to see

type of pollution and now we want to see

type of pollution and now we want to see a shift again towards green and clean

a shift again towards green and clean

a shift again towards green and clean energy and so if you were around a

energy and so if you were around a

energy and so if you were around a hundred years ago you have trying to

hundred years ago you have trying to

hundred years ago you have trying to cross the street you had to look out for

cross the street you had to look out for

cross the street you had to look out for a horse and today it’s a car what I’m

electric vehicles and I want to talk about how this fits into this massive

about how this fits into this massive

about how this fits into this massive change that we’re gonna see in all of

change that we’re gonna see in all of

change that we’re gonna see in all of transportation case is a kind of

transportation case is a kind of

transportation case is a kind of abbreviation that’s been thrown a lot

abbreviation that’s been thrown a lot

abbreviation that’s been thrown a lot around a lot it’s connected autonomous

around a lot it’s connected autonomous

around a lot it’s connected autonomous shared and electric and these are the

shared and electric and these are the

shared and electric and these are the key four things that are going to allow

key four things that are going to allow

key four things that are going to allow the adoption of electric vehicles so

the adoption of electric vehicles so

the adoption of electric vehicles so number one is that the vehicle itself

number one is that the vehicle itself

number one is that the vehicle itself has to be connected and you have to be

has to be connected and you have to be

has to be connected and you have to be connected to the vehicle and thanks to

connected to the vehicle and thanks to

connected to the vehicle and thanks to mobile devices we can do that in 2005

mobile devices we can do that in 2005

mobile devices we can do that in 2005 uber couldn’t have existed but because

uber couldn’t have existed but because

uber couldn’t have existed but because of the smart phone that’s what allowed

of the smart phone that’s what allowed

of the smart phone that’s what allowed us to find a driver at any given time

us to find a driver at any given time

us to find a driver at any given time and immediately engage with them the

and immediately engage with them the

and immediately engage with them the vehicles need to be autonomous that’s

vehicles need to be autonomous that’s

vehicles need to be autonomous that’s what’s gonna bring down the cost of

what’s gonna bring down the cost of

what’s gonna bring down the cost of transportation it’s what’s gonna make it

transportation it’s what’s gonna make it

transportation it’s what’s gonna make it safer for cities they need to be shared

safer for cities they need to be shared

safer for cities they need to be shared meaning you know I can hail it with my

phone and

phone and we’ll come to me it’s not something that

we’ll come to me it’s not something that

we’ll come to me it’s not something that I have to own all the time and then the

I have to own all the time and then the

I have to own all the time and then the last one is they have to be electric and

last one is they have to be electric and

last one is they have to be electric and they have to be electric for a number of

they have to be electric for a number of

they have to be electric for a number of different reasons but one of the biggest

different reasons but one of the biggest

different reasons but one of the biggest is that if you get in an internal

is that if you get in an internal

is that if you get in an internal combustion engine car there’s about

combustion engine car there’s about

combustion engine car there’s about 1,800 moving parts in that drivetrain

1,800 moving parts in that drivetrain

1,800 moving parts in that drivetrain and if you get in an electric car

and if you get in an electric car

and if you get in an electric car there’s 18 moving parts in that

there’s 18 moving parts in that

there’s 18 moving parts in that drivetrain and so if you’re a

drivetrain and so if you’re a

drivetrain and so if you’re a transportation provider Sam Ford today

I’m trying to sell cars I want to sell

I’m trying to sell cars I want to sell more cars so if you get 150 200 thousand

more cars so if you get 150 200 thousand

more cars so if you get 150 200 thousand miles out of a car that’s great but if

miles out of a car that’s great but if

miles out of a car that’s great but if I’m Ober I don’t want to buy cars that’s

I’m Ober I don’t want to buy cars that’s

I’m Ober I don’t want to buy cars that’s gonna last 150,000 miles and I’m not

gonna last 150,000 miles and I’m not

gonna last 150,000 miles and I’m not buying a car because it’s got you know

buying a car because it’s got you know

buying a car because it’s got you know nice leather seats I’m buying a car

nice leather seats I’m buying a car

nice leather seats I’m buying a car because I want it to last a long time I

because I want it to last a long time I

because I want it to last a long time I wanted to last a million miles and so

wanted to last a million miles and so

wanted to last a million miles and so now auto manufacturers are completely

now auto manufacturers are completely

now auto manufacturers are completely redesigning and rethinking the way that

redesigning and rethinking the way that

redesigning and rethinking the way that they actually build a vehicle because

they actually build a vehicle because

they actually build a vehicle because it’s not about getting you know five or

it’s not about getting you know five or

it’s not about getting you know five or eight years out of it at 200 thousand

eight years out of it at 200 thousand

eight years out of it at 200 thousand miles it’s about getting a million miles

miles it’s about getting a million miles

miles it’s about getting a million miles out of it in about you know four or five

out of it in about you know four or five

out of it in about you know four or five years and so this is one aspect of the

years and so this is one aspect of the

years and so this is one aspect of the shift that we’re starting to see and

shift that we’re starting to see and

shift that we’re starting to see and once the cars are connected once they’re

once the cars are connected once they’re

once the cars are connected once they’re autonomous once their shared

autonomous once their shared

autonomous once their shared intersections and cities are actually

intersections and cities are actually

intersections and cities are actually gonna start to look like this if you

gonna start to look like this if you

gonna start to look like this if you have every car in an urban area having

have every car in an urban area having

have every car in an urban area having an autonomous shared and connected

an autonomous shared and connected

an autonomous shared and connected infrastructure all of a sudden the cars

infrastructure all of a sudden the cars

infrastructure all of a sudden the cars can talk to each other they can

can talk to each other they can

can talk to each other they can communicate which means you don’t need

communicate which means you don’t need

communicate which means you don’t need stoplights and you don’t need stoplights

stoplights and you don’t need stoplights

stoplights and you don’t need stoplights that you know are gonna slow down

that you know are gonna slow down

that you know are gonna slow down traffic create congestion you’re able to

traffic create congestion you’re able to

traffic create congestion you’re able to create a consistent flow now most people

create a consistent flow now most people

create a consistent flow now most people would say well you know you can’t do

would say well you know you can’t do

would say well you know you can’t do that because if you’re the person

that because if you’re the person

that because if you’re the person driving a regular car you can’t drive in

driving a regular car you can’t drive in

driving a regular car you can’t drive in that ecosystem in about eight years you

that ecosystem in about eight years you

that ecosystem in about eight years you won’t be able to drive a car in most

won’t be able to drive a car in most

won’t be able to drive a car in most cities humans will not be allowed to and

cities humans will not be allowed to and

cities humans will not be allowed to and the number one reason is because of the

the number one reason is because of the

the number one reason is because of the cost of insurance once you get to about

cost of insurance once you get to about

cost of insurance once you get to about 15 percent of people driving on time or

15 percent of people driving on time or

15 percent of people driving on time or using like a ride-sharing service like

using like a ride-sharing service like

using like a ride-sharing service like uber and it’s completely autonomous

uber and it’s completely autonomous

uber and it’s completely autonomous insurance prices because now you’ve got

insurance prices because now you’ve got

insurance prices because now you’ve got 15 percent of people who are not paying

15 percent of people who are not paying

15 percent of people who are not paying for insurance start to go up for anybody

for insurance start to go up for anybody

for insurance start to go up for anybody who’s driving a human powered vehicle as

who’s driving a human powered vehicle as

who’s driving a human powered vehicle as though that starts to happen it creates

though that starts to happen it creates

though that starts to happen it creates a feedback loop and so insurance prices

a feedback loop and so insurance prices

a feedback loop and so insurance prices start to climb insanely quickly which

start to climb insanely quickly which

start to climb insanely quickly which means driving a car especially if I own

means driving a car especially if I own

means driving a car especially if I own it I have to pay for the car I have to

it I have to pay for the car I have to

it I have to pay for the car I have to maintain it I have to pay for the

maintain it I have to pay for the

maintain it I have to pay for the insurance meanwhile I’m in an autonomous

insurance meanwhile I’m in an autonomous

insurance meanwhile I’m in an autonomous vehicle that

vehicle that

vehicle that have a driver it’s incredibly cheap

have a driver it’s incredibly cheap

have a driver it’s incredibly cheap about 70% cheaper than you can get an

about 70% cheaper than you can get an

about 70% cheaper than you can get an uber today and so this is one of the

uber today and so this is one of the

uber today and so this is one of the reasons that this shift is going to

reasons that this shift is going to

reasons that this shift is going to happen so incredibly quickly and most

happen so incredibly quickly and most

happen so incredibly quickly and most people don’t even realize it so this is

people don’t even realize it so this is

people don’t even realize it so this is 1950 in New York and you can see this is

1950 in New York and you can see this is

1950 in New York and you can see this is a little bit difficult because of the

a little bit difficult because of the

a little bit difficult because of the bright light but these are all horse and

bright light but these are all horse and

bright light but these are all horse and carriages and over here on the left it

carriages and over here on the left it

carriages and over here on the left it says where’s the automobile and if you

it was mercedes-benz who understood the mechanical properties of an internal

mechanical properties of an internal

mechanical properties of an internal combustion engine and so you can’t look

to the existing transportation providers

to the existing transportation providers as the ones that are going to disrupt

as the ones that are going to disrupt

as the ones that are going to disrupt the industry so this is 1900 and this is

if you look these are all cars all

if you look these are all cars all automobiles and if you look right here

automobiles and if you look right here

automobiles and if you look right here there’s one horse and that’s 13 years

there’s one horse and that’s 13 years

there’s one horse and that’s 13 years the amount of change we’re going to see

the amount of change we’re going to see

the amount of change we’re going to see in the next eight years in every major

in the next eight years in every major

in the next eight years in every major city in the world is gonna be like five

city in the world is gonna be like five

city in the world is gonna be like five times that you’re gonna see such a shift

times that you’re gonna see such a shift

times that you’re gonna see such a shift so quickly it’s gonna be mind-boggling

so quickly it’s gonna be mind-boggling

so quickly it’s gonna be mind-boggling and so one of the interesting things is
