Automobility 3.0: Autonomous & Distributed Mobility – A China Perspective

GlobalAutoIndustry.com’s latest Audio Interview "Automobility 3.0: Autonomous & Distributed Mobility - A China Perspective" features Bill Russo.  Bill is the Founder and CEO of Shanghai-based Automobility Limited, a strategy and investment advisory firm helping clients to create the future of mobility. His over four decades of experience includes 15 years as an automotive executive, including over two decades of experience in China and Asia. He has also worked 12 years in the electronics and information technology industries.  Bill is also currently serving as the Chair of the Automotive Committee at the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.

In the 16-minute Audio Interview, Mr. Russo discusses these questions:

• What does Automobility 3.0 represent beyond conventional self-driving? How does autonomy shift value creation away from hardware and toward networks and orchestrated services?
• Your framework divides the 3.0 world into three domains: In, Around, and Beyond the vehicle.  Let’s unpack each.  How does AI reshape the in-vehicle experience, driving automation, and personalized intelligence?
• AROUND the vehicle: How does an autonomous vehicle function as a connected edge device interacting with other vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure?  And what role does V2X play in this?
• How does the vehicle evolve into a node within distributed networks — including digital, energy, and mobility resources — hosted and orchestrated by the digital ecosystem?
• Which segments are commercializing fastest today, and why is China emerging as the leading testbed for AI-enabled mobility?
• How do autonomy and intelligence unlock recurring revenue streams such as subscriptions, data services, fleet efficiency, and intelligent mobility?
• How do Shared Services, Connected/Electric intelligence, and Autonomy converge into a unified mobility ecosystem?
