I have the great pleasure to introduce my book, “Mobility Revolution — How AI, EVs, Robotaxis, and New Modes Radically Transform the Ecosystem”. It builds on 35+ years of experience in the mobility space including the past decade in Silicon Valley as a senior advisor to the global industry. Writing this book was the natural next step after publishing over 100 articles via my monthly newsletter Mobility Revolution which is sent to about 5,000 subscribers. The book will be available for pre-order from my editor on July 21st (ordering instructions below).

I am grateful to John Rossant, Founder & CEO of CoMotion, for writing an enlightening foreword. Many thanks also to Corinne Vigreux, Bernard Delmas, Luc Julia, Michael Huelsewies, Reilly Brennan, Jeffrey Chou, Mehdi Ferhan, Michel Forissier, Michael Granoff, Ali Kassaï Koupaï, Paul Lienert, Alexandre Marian and Mehul Udani for your reviews. Finally, I am thankful to my editors, Guy Loft and Zoe Everitt-Spence of Routledge for believing in me and my project.

 

Abstract 

Mobility Revolution captures the sweeping transformation redefining how people and goods move. Drawing on decades of experience across Paris, Detroit, and Silicon Valley, Marc Amblard unpacks the forces driving this historic shift, namely the push for clean mobility, volatile regulations, ambitious startups, geopolitics, and the global power shift toward China. He dissects the central role played by technology as electrification, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, the software-defined vehicle, and new modes reshape the entire ecosystem.

 

Blending insightful technology perspectives with rigorous strategic analyses, this book explores the new tech, products and services, innovative business models and collaborations, and complex supply chains that will determine the next era in automotive and mobility. Organized around key domains, namely clean mobility, autonomy, digital transformation, and changing mobility paradigms, the book offers professionals and policymakers a panoramic yet practical view of where mobility and the automotive industry are headed.

 

Mobility Revolution is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand and anticipate the future of transportation.

Bernard Delmas, Board Member, Nissan Motor Corp

 

“An insightful, technically grounded exploration of the forces reshaping mobility. From electrification and software-defined vehicles to AI, geopolitics, and China’s rise, Mobility Revolution delivers rare clarity and strategic depth. Insightful and forward-looking, it inspires action. A must-read guide for anyone reshaping mobility.“ 

Michael Huelsewies, SVP, Innovation & Strategic Portfolio Management, CARIAD, VW Group

 

“Mobility Revolution analyzes the sweeping transformation of mobility, from electrification and autonomous driving to AI and software-defined vehicles. Drawing on deep industry experience, Marc Amblard skillfully connects technology, markets, business models, public policy, and geopolitics shaping the future of mobility.” 

Dr. Luc Julia, former Chief Scientific Officer, Renault Group and co-creator of Siri

 

“Marc Amblard’s Mobility Revolution lays out the essential learning framework to understand automated vehicles. Notably he approaches the topic not just from a technical angle, but also from a business and cultural perspective as well. If you want to understand how the pieces t together, this is a great guide.”

Reilly Brennan, Partner, Trucks Venture Capital

 

“The transformation underway in the mobility industry is massive, complex, and immediate. In Mobility Revolution, Marc delivers a thoughtful and comprehensive examination of the technological, geopolitical, consumer, and business forces driving this change. The result is an essential guide for industry practitioners, entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone seeking to understand one of the most significant generational disruptions ahead. Marc, thank you for providing such a valuable resource to the entire mobility ecosystem!”

Jeffrey Chou, Founder & CEO, Sonatus

 

“Electrification is reshaping transport and heavy mobility, turning bold ideas into real progress. Yet true transformation demands not just technology, but also resilient infrastructure, accessible charging, and affordable low-carbon energy. Mobility Revolution provides a rigorous analysis of this transition, supported by well-documented, deep insights on the key drivers. It is a valuable compass to help build a future where sustainable mobility becomes a shared and global opportunity.”

Mehdi Ferhan, Head of Powertrain Technology, Volvo Group

 

“What makes Marc Amblard compelling is his unique blend: a European living in Silicon Valley, a sharp observer of the automotive and mobility industries with hands-on experience, a strong appetite for new technologies, and a rare ability to clearly and subtly analyze the profoundly and fast changing mobility space. Mobility Revolution is a comprehensive yet detailed, highly credible reference on the transformation of mobility. A must-read!”

Michel Forissier, former Chief Engineering and Marketing Officer, Valeo

 

“For carmakers, the 21st century has been anything but stable. Rapidly evolving technologies and uncertainty about consumer demand and government policy have made long-term strategic planning nearly impossible. New entrants, supply chain interruptions, changing trade rules, and the rise of Chinese manufacturing all added to the chaos. Marc Amblard masterfully synthesizes how the industry is navigating these challenges, and what it means for the future of mobility.”

Michael Granoff, Founder & Managing Partner, Maniv

 

 

“In Mobility Revolution, Marc Amblard dissects the green transition and the race towards strategic autonomy. He analyses China’s dominance in the batteries supply chain, including recycling, whereas the EU vows circularity and localization to reduce waste and secure resources and jobs. Yet by allowing imports made of Chinese recycled materials, the EU entrenches its dependence— a striking paradox at the heart of its strategy.” 

Ali Kassaï Koupaï, former Executive VP, Product & Programs, Renault Group

 

“Marc Amblard knows intimately the future mobility landscape. His book, Mobility Revolution - How AI, EVs, Robotaxis, and New Modes Radically Transform the Ecosystem, tracks the sweeping changes that continue to rock the world, from autonomous driving to advanced air mobility. Amblard explores the technologies underpinning new mobility, including the rise of software-defined vehicles and the increasing ubiquity of artificial intelligence. He also weighs the geopolitical shifts and regulatory frameworks that will shape future mobility.”

Paul Lienert, Co-Author, China Takes the Wheel

 

“In Mobility Revolution, an ambitious and timely book, Marc Amblard delivers a clear-eyed exploration of the profound disruptions reshaping the automotive industry. From electrification and autonomous technologies to geopolitical tensions and their implications for global mobility, he captures the full scope of today’s mobility revolution.

Alexandre Marian, Partner & Managing Director, AlixPartners

 

“A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the Mobility Revolution and where it’s headed. This book offers a clear look at Silicon Valley’s influence on innovation and how AI, autonomous driving, and global supply chains are changing the mobility landscape and reshaping the future.”

Mehul Udani, Vice President, Corporate Technology & Innovation, MuRata

 

“Mobility Revolution captures the industry’s most consequential transformation in decades. Marc Amblard makes clear that autonomy and AI are not standalone breakthroughs— they rely on a rich ecosystem powered by software, data, and high-precision maps. As vehicles become increasingly AI-defined, trusted location intelligence becomes strategic infrastructure. Marc’s analysis is sharp, global, and grounded in execution. A must-read for automotive and technology leaders shaping the future of mobility.”
