Prof. MacDuffie will draw on his 30+ years of doing research in the global automotive industry plus his last 6 years as the Director of Wharton’s Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation (PVMI), part of the Mack Institute for Innovation Management, to give his views on these topics.

His talk will:

• Set out the basic tension between the current technological changes and the massive “installed base” of vehicles operating in the human-driven internal combustion engine paradigm;
• Provide a primer on CASE, I.e. Connected, Autonomous, Shared mobility services, and Electric, the four disruptive forces driving this transformation, evaluating them both separately and in different combinations;
• Ask whether the CASE-fueled transformation favors the tech companies, the automakers, or (spoiler alert!) rather will require both sectors to work together, along with regulators plus city and local governments, to deliver effective, affordable, accessible, and safe multi-mode mobility systems;
• Give his views on how quickly various aspects of this transformation will occur and which issues and indicators to watch to assess CASE’s progress.
