Haven't read the report mentioned by the OP. So I cannot comment on any conclusions.

I am sure there are many prognosticators. Probably more of that going on in tech right now than at any time in human history.

Some bets will be right, some will be wrong. Some will be in between.

Solyndra... makes me laugh. I live 10 minutes from there. I remember running into a small tech team from there years ago at the local indoor go track business that is right nearby (owned by a car guy/Porschephile just like some of us).

It was "interesting" to speak with them.

Not all companies are well managed, and not all bets pay off.

I can say this: the network of business and technical professionals that I am learning about/meeting/engaging with are mostly many years into their learnings, experiences, strategies and tactics in the future of mobility. Pretty way out in front in most cases.

As you'd expect.

Haven't yet looked at the infrastructure side of the equation, but it seems very clear that a lot is going on... its like a freight train.

The broader, related tech storm/tech disruption may be like the coming of indoor plumbing, electricity, personal computing, the automobile, the airplane, internet and on and on...

all happening at once and much faster than any of those things happened.

And on top of that, younger folks may have "much to say" based on what they buy, or want to buy and cannot afford, et cetera. And in the mobility space, how they want to get around.
