“…All around the world, on-demand ride services-often called ridehailing or ridesourcing-like Uber and Lyft have sprung up like mushrooms, marking a transformation of urban mobility [3]. However, there are critical voices claiming that the launches of ridehailing services are leading to significant reductions in the utilization of city buses [4] and to an increase of vehicle kilometers travelled [5]. Thus, the average number of passengers per trip should be increased by sharing rides [4].…”

“…By taking these recommendations into account, new ridepooling systems could be made more appealing and could thus increase residents' willingness to use ridepooling systems. The study gives some advice on how to design ridepooling systems in such a way that users are willing to share rides, which is an important objective of transport planning, in order to increase vehicle occupancy rate [5]. Regarding the findings, ridepooling systems should aim to limit the travel time and shift of departure caused by the access and egress of other passengers to compete with nonshared transportation services like taxi cabs or Uber (except UberPool, which aims to pool rides).…”

Public ridepooling systems could contribute to the reduction of traffic volume and emissions in cities by decreasing the number of rides by private car while increasing the average number of passengers per vehicle. Yet, it is unknown how urban travelers value different attributes of the ridepooling’s operational concept. Which characteristics of ridepooling concepts are most important to the users? In order to obtain a deeper understanding of travelers’ preferences concerning a ridepooling system, choice-based Conjoint Analysis was performed. Based on a literature review and a focus group, six relevant attributes of the operational concept of ridepooling systems were determined: fare, walking distance, time of booking, shift of departure time, travel time, and information provision. Data from 237 German city dwellers were analyzed with the help of Cox regression. Except for time of booking, all service attributes significantly affected the respondents’ choice. Besides the high relevance of fare, the results underline the particular importance of the attribute walking distance to the pick-up point for elderly. The results give guidance for the creation of user-centered public transport systems that meet the requirements of the prospective passengers and thus might contribute to the development of shared passenger transport systems for sustainable urban mobility.

“…We selected four factors that affect the car-sharing industry open innovation, such as taxi industry, public transportation with parking, automotive industry, and government regulation. One reason we selected public transport here is that ridesharing may have overall negative consequences for a city in several aspects such as promoting the shift from public transport to shared cars or an increase in vehicle kilometers travelled [48]. If you highlight this study, the difference in open innovation of car-sharing firms will lead to dynamic diversity of car-sharing business models, including revenue models, such as benefit source; responsibility models, such as insurance, safety; and system models, such as call allocation, payment system, etc.…”

This paper discusses dynamics and differences of business models in the car-sharing industry and focuses on open innovation as the trigger of diverse business models among Uber in the U.S., DiDi Chuxing in China, and KakaoT in Korea. We seek to answer the following two questions: What creates the differences in the business models of the car-sharing industry? Do the differences in open innovation motivate the diversity of business models among Uber, DiDi Chuxing, and KakaoT? We incorporated participatory observation, interviews, and semi-structured questionnaire methods in our study. We used two-step participatory observation and interview methods, hence carrying out observation and interviews two times by different researchers with Uber drivers in the U.S., DiDi-Chuxing drivers in Beijing, and KakaoT taxi drivers in Korea to confirm the interview and participatory observation results. First, business models of the car-sharing firms Uber, DiDi-Chuxing, and KakaoT are not fixed but rather are dynamically changing. Second, business models of car-sharing firms are the result of interaction with government regulations, the taxi industry, public transportation, and the automotive car industry. Third, open innovation strategies of car-sharing firms determine the contents and dynamics of car-sharing business models, such as the revenue business model, responsibility business model, and system business model upon interaction with four agencies.

“…In contrast, a ride-sharing model could reduce pressure on parking and change land use. Certainly, ride-hailing applications such as Lyft and Uber have challenged prior norms and could provide some of the benefits of AVs if widely adopted [45]. There are various degrees of autonomy for motor vehicles.…”

Cities have started to restructure themselves into ‘smart cities’ to address the challenges of the 21st Century—such as climate change, sustainable development, and digital disruption. One of the major obstacles to success for a smart city is to tackle the mobility and accessibility issues via ‘smart mobility’ solutions. At the verge of the age of smart urbanism, autonomous vehicle technology is seen as an opportunity to realize the smart mobility vision of cities. However, this innovative technological advancement is also speculated to bring a major disruption in urban transport, land use, employment, parking, car ownership, infrastructure design, capital investment decisions, sustainability, mobility, and traffic safety. Despite the potential threats, urban planners and managers are not yet prepared to develop autonomous vehicle strategies for cities to deal with these threats. This is mainly due to a lack of knowledge on the social implications of autonomous capabilities and how exactly they will disrupt our cities. This viewpoint provides a snapshot of the current status of vehicle automation, the direction in which the field is moving forward, the potential impacts of systematic adoption of autonomous vehicles, and how urban planners can mitigate the built environment and land use disruption of autonomous vehicles.
