18 Sep 2017: cars, bikes, trucks, boats, cities, voice shopping, Equifax again

Hello, this is the Co-op Digital newsletter. Send us feedback at CoopDigitalNewsletter@co-operative.coop.

Cars

This newsletter bangs on about self-driving cars a bit because many industries and cities are currently optimised for combustion-engined, human-driven, single-owner vehicles, so a lot will change in the next few decades as (or if) cars transition to electric, self-driving and ride-purchased. The transition to electric is underway. Several countries have said they’ll eventually ban petrol and diesel cars and most major car manufacturers have announced hybrid/electric throughout the range - or even hybrid/electric only - by the late 2020s or 2030s. The transition to self-driving is starting but looks a bit further off. Tesla and Google (among others) are collecting lots of car data and runnings billions of simulated miles in the hope that they’ll control the valuable bits - the data - of the self-driving puzzle… though it may be a messy 30 years as self-driving cars gradually get there. Ride-sharing business models (yes, Uber) are starting to “unbundle” car ownership into rent-a-ride, and existing taxis services are collateral damage. New York has 13,500 registered cabs and 63,000 ride-sharing cars, and Uber is in 60,000 of those.

A hint of what’s to come: during Hurricane Irma, Tesla remotely updated Florida cars to give them more range. Why does that seem weird? Because we expect physical products to remain consistent and unchangeable? Because Tesla apparently deliberately damages a product capable of better performance so that the resulting two versions can occupy different price points? We have to get used to the idea that physical products are becoming colonised by software, and with that updatable.

Once cars have been fully colonised by software, are self-driving and owned by others, and the unit of ownership is the ride rather than the vehicle, then the differentiation starts to be experienced at the level of the ride. In future, if you have platinum membership of TeslUber, your rides will travel quicker on emptier streets, with better routes, in-car entertainment and even car decoration. The poor Have-nots will have a different experience in the same vehicles, because their rides will be paid for with mere PAYG ride tokens, by purchasing goods from a VauxhalLidl vending machine that’ll pop up, or if they “answer just one more market research question to get another minute of travel time”.

.

Electric bikes and trucks: micro-mobile, short haul

Of course cars aren’t the only transport modes going electric. Bikes: Fascinating presentations on “micro-mobility” - what stands out is that electric bikes are starting to take off, that electric and later self-driving vehicles will collapse the cost of manufacturing, maintaining and operating vehicles, that roads and cities won’t change quickly so there will be many more small, electric vehicles for short journeys. And that “1 - 1.5h/day and 15% of disposable income spent on transport” could be an iron law rather than just the description of the average 2017 commute.

Electric trucks: both Daimler and Tesla have announced electric trucks. Daimler’s are 3.5 ton short-haul (city delivery) trucks, UPS are buying the first few, and they go to full production in 2019. Less detail about Tesla’s, which will be unveiled late Oct, is rumoured to be for internal use hauling batteries, and apparently looks “unreal”.

.

Boats: Cajun navy

Texas citizens used a walkie-talkie app called Zello during Hurricane Harvey to volunteer in a community emergency service - the “Cajun Navy” - to rescue stranded families. Good to see technology helping communities fill gaps in extremely difficult circumstances. (And doesn’t it feel like there’s been surprisingly little discussion of climate change in the mainstream media coverage of Harvey and Irma?)

.

Shopping by voice

Tesco reckons that voice could transform in-store and on-app shopping. Speech-recognition-with-shopping has been heralded as a next big thing for many years so it would be really good to see some data on this. Or clearer use-cases: browsing a list of products in a category is horrible by voice, but finding where the maple syrup is shelved in a store would be useful. Perhaps new habits of incrementally building up smaller shopping lists make voice a convenient and viable medium.

Related: Walmart and Google partner on voice shopping, voice assistants making the web accessible.

.

FashionistAI

Standard clothing sizes fit less than 20 percent of the population. Technology may rework fashion, giving consumers greater personalisation of fashion production and more influence over how clothes fit. Example: Stitch Fix’s use of machine learning, though you can’t just sprinkle AI magic on to meet personal tastes or get the basics right. Or: Amazon has developed an AI fashion designer (clickbaity headline, that). But what does it mean for creativity? Will increased automation make sartorial differences more mainstream? And how will new businesses be able to deal with the surges of demand when a product suddenly goes viral?

.

Equifax update

Last week, we talked about the Equifax hack. This week: it looks as if 400,000 UK citizens were potentially affected, though Equifax can’t be sure. The Do Not Pay maestro has build a chatbot tool so US citizens can automatically sue Equifax for up to $25,000. On the face of it, “a chatbot tool so you can automatically sue” doesn’t sound that great, but it eases the door open to small claims courts for the under-lawyered.

Facebook facts

Facebook has mapped the homes of a third of the world’s population to within five metres.

Its Messenger now has 1.3 billion users monthly.

Whatsapp (1 billion users daily) plans to charge businesses to talk to customers on the messaging service.

.

Various things

The Washington Post's robot reporter has published 850 articles in the past year. Sheesh, the Co-op Digital newsletterbot has only managed 50 or so.

Huge boost for renewables as offshore wind farm costs fall to record low.

MIT is building an algorithm they say can predict pain - it’s worth wondering how the team are addressing the well-known problem of “low status” patients’ pain taken less seriously by doctors.

China bans initial coin offerings - probably a lead contributor to Bitcoin losing 25% of its value in the week or so.

What a digital organisation looks like.

Google crowdsources wheelchair-friendly maps - wouldn’t it be good if it made services friendlier for all the disabilities too.

A beginner’s guide to using My Get Me There: Manchester’s hilarious attempt at reinventing London’s Oyster Card - entertaining rant, less clear how balanced it is.
