This insightful book explores the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service and its impact on society, highlighting the role of self-driving vehicles in enhancing accessibility.

The book Inventing Mobility for All delves into the concept of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) and its profound implications for society. Authors Andreas Herrmann and Johann Jungwirth examine how this innovative approach to transportation can reshape social interactions and influence travel behaviors on a global scale. They argue that mobility is not just a privilege but a fundamental human right that should be accessible to everyone.

In Inventing Mobility for All, the authors highlight the transformative potential of self-driving vehicles, illustrating how they can enhance accessibility for individuals with disabilities and promote environmental sustainability. By integrating autonomous technology into urban planning, cities can be reimagined to prioritize the needs of all citizens, ensuring that mobility solutions are inclusive and equitable.

Throughout the book, Herrmann and Jungwirth provide compelling examples and insights into how Mobility-as-a-Service can revolutionize transportation systems. They discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among stakeholders to create a future where mobility is seamless, efficient, and available to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. This book serves as a vital resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the future of transportation.

Mobility-as-a-Service can make a decisive contribution to improving the traffic situation in many megacities. MaaS concepts are already being tested in numerous Chinese cities. We are on the threshold of implementation. This book vividly illustrates the idea, concepts and implications around Mobility-as-a-Service, making an important contribution to better mobility - for cities, for people, for the environment.

Mobility-as-a-Service is an opportunity to completely rethink our cities. Roads and parking lots can be repurposed or deconstructed and used for living spaces, playgrounds or denser mixed-use development and affordable housing. This book describes numerous approaches so that in the future we build our cities around people and not cars. -- Gabe Klein, Founding Partner of Cityfi, Venture Partner at Fontinalis Partners, and former Commissioner of the Chicago and Washington DC Departments of Transportat
