The McKinsey Center for Future Mobility’s Bold Claims About the Coming AV Revolution
In this episode of Zag Talk, the hosts discuss the latest Q1 earnings surge for gig‑economy firms like DoorDash, Uber, and Lyft, then dive into McKinsey’s Center for Future Mobility report on autonomous vehicle (AV) projections with guests Darius Skirtu and Ani Kelkar. They explore the socioeconomic impact of delivery services, the looming Lime IPO, and recent regulatory and safety challenges facing Waymo in London and the U.S., including a police‑cordon incident and a 3,800‑vehicle recall. The conversation also touches on Amazon’s drone delivery trials in the UK and the broader implications of emerging mobility technologies for urban planning and equity.
