On today’s podcast, Oliver interviews Sam Baker, COO of Wunder Mobility,about their software platform that underpins a number of carshare, carpool,Micromobility and other services players in Europe, and is about to expandto the US.Specifically we dig into:- Wunder’s early success in carpooling, and how their strategy differedfrom Oliver’s experience watching commuting products being built at Uber.- Sam’s thesis around ‘digitizing the 99%’ of transport operators, so thatthey can connect in to the forthcoming Mobility As a Service platforms- Why Sam disagrees that there will be ‘one app to rule them all’, andinstead that the future of Mobility As A Service will involve lots ofinteroperable components.- What traditional fleet operators can bring to the new world of venturecapital funded mobility- His take on data standardisation for mobility operators- The potential for examples of full end to end Mobility as a Serviceplatform such as the one that Sixt has rolled out in Europe to replace carownership.I found this a great interview - Wunder hadn’t been on my radar, but theyare now.
