The 2019 edition of Automotive World’s mobility start-ups and unicorns report highlights fast-moving companies to look out for in 2020 in the areas of in CASE mobility and trucking.
Start-ups, including unicorns (start-ups worth US$1bn or more) are beginning to reshape the future of mobility, working alongside established automakers, suppliers, and tech companies. According to McKinsey, since 2010, investors have bet more than US$220bn in over 1,100 mobility start-ups, with over US$56bn invested in e-hailing alone during that period.
What does it take to be a unicorn? And what does unicorn status mean for a start-up? A billion-dollar valuation still indicates a significant level of confidence from the investor community, but that billion-dollar valuation only counts if the start-up company makes a difference.
Automotive World’s round-up of leading mobility start-ups and unicorns highlights some of the key companies in autonomous driving, user experience and HMI, shared mobility, electrification, last-mile delivery and trucking.
