Listen "Scoot Over: Three Wheels and AI To Impact Future of Urban Travel In The City"
Episode Synopsis
The urban mobility landscape is changing, and ARIO stands at the forefront of this revolution. Founded just last year with a bold vision to transform how we move through cities, ARIO has quickly established itself as not just another scooter company, but a technology-driven solution to long-standing problems in the micro-mobility space.Mitchell Price, Head of Government Relations for ARIO, reveals how their three-wheeled scooters incorporate AI-powered technology that's solving the issues that have plagued e-scooters since they entered Australian cities in 2017. Their innovative approach includes sensors that detect double-riding, remote parking capabilities that allow operations teams to move improperly parked scooters, and speed-limiting technology that automatically slows vehicles in designated areas. Perhaps most impressively, ARIO's $50 penalty for unreturned helmets has created unprecedented compliance with safety requirements.As ARIO looks toward potential expansion into Canberra, Price emphasizes their community-first philosophy and readiness to adapt to local needs rather than imposing a standardized approach. For businesses considering expansion into new markets, he offers valuable insights about resilience, patience, and the importance of building social license through genuine community engagement.
