12 Opportunities to Improve Quality of Life “17” year olds Soccer Moms Those that have never wanted to go anywhere Dads who never ask for directions Better Feed the Family Solid Quantifiable ROI Anxiety Relief Feel Good Safety, Security, Comfort Mobile Professionals Market SegmentsQuality of Life

13 For the Mobile Professional … Recent implementations have resulted in: – 17% reduction in fleet mileage – 20% improvement in mobile workforce efficiency – 7% reduction in fleet size – Ability to deliver in one hour customer time windows

14 The Future for Real-time data will be… The Advances in Autonomous Vehicle Control – Much of it fueled by the DARPA Grand Challenges ’04, ‘05, ’07 – Continued on by researchers, entrepreneurs and manufacturers Lane departure warning and lane keeping Frontal collision warning and avoidance Many individual autonomous vehicle initiatives – Princeton: Prospect 12 … objective to pass NJ DMV driver’s test – Italians – Germans – VT, CMU, Stanford, … – Google All with the objective of placing sufficient intelligence in a vehicle so that it can operate safely and efficiently on existing street mixed in with human operated vehicle

15 It is Clear… We aren’t very good drivers We prefer to – text, talk, drink, sleep, daydream, rather than drive Driving is boring, an insult to our intelligence! Once upon a time… – I shifted gears, controlled my cruise speed with my foot and closely planned my every turn Hopefully… – I’ll no longer have to steer, brake, or pay attention. Chances are: People will gladly pay for such service

16 If I don’t have to drive… Why should I own??? If I pay enough… – One will show up at my front door and properly deploy itself at my destination. If demand is too high… – I can walk to a nearby autonomous taxi stand and contribute to ridesharing.

17 To serve New Jersey’s ~30 million daily trips, I need… – NJ Transit rail and express bus operation to continue operation – ~10,000 off-street Autonomous Taxi locations – <1,000,000 autonomous vehicles (3.71 registered automobiles in NJ (2009) – All operating on existing streets that could continue to be used for goods movement, emergency management, bicyclists, walkers. Thank You
