The podcast episodes cover the topic of shared mobility as an important trend in the transportation sector, particularly in the context of decarbonizing personal transportation and the potential of self-driving cars.

In Episode 85 of "Heavy Hitters: The Digital Industrial Podcast", the shared mobility boom, including scooters and shared assets, is mentioned as one of the macro themes that emerged in the transportation sector.

In "Decarbonizing Cars" from the "The Big Switch" podcast, shared mobility services, such as ride-sharing and car-sharing, are presented as a complement to electrification and autonomous vehicles, contributing to the decarbonization of personal transportation.

Similarly, "Ep. 37: Revolution on the Road: The Shift to EVs and Self-Driving Cars" from the "Got Science?" podcast highlights the shift towards shared, pooled mobility services and away from personal vehicle ownership as crucial for self-driving cars to provide benefits rather than negative impacts.
