Modu Light Urban Vehicle
Dense European cities are transitioning toward zero-emission mobility, yet urban service infrastructure remains heavily van-dependent. Service technicians and handymen rely on vehicles designed for maximum flexibility and volume, even when much of that capacity goes unused. As cities introduce low-emission zones and restrict access for fossil-fuel vehicles, this mismatch creates rising costs, spatial pressure, and avoidable emissions. Existing alternatives often fail to fully support technicians’ operational realities, locking the sector into inefficient mobility patterns. A structural gap persists between the demands of sustainable urban policy and the practical tools available to urban service professionals.

Colombia has thousands of poorly connected, remote, and isolated small towns and settlements. Many of these not even accesible by land, making supply runs and deliveries of life-saving medicine an arduous and unreliable endeavor. The status quo forces a choice between inefficient stockpiling leading to significant medical waste or the use of helicopters, which are cost-prohibitive and often unavailable. By using the power of UAVs, these communities can receive supplies on-demand instead of incurring the inefficiencies of stockpiling or not receiving them at all. Ensuring that geography is no longer a barrier to the outside world.

The rapid growth of AI-generated content makes it increasingly difficult for people to distinguish between human-created and AI-generated information. Many users lack digital literacy and critical thinking skills to evaluate online content properly. As a result, misinformation and misleading AI content can spread quickly, especially among vulnerable groups who may not recognize the difference.

The problem with the future of cycling is threefold. Development of bicycle safety is neglected compared to other modes of transportation. Cars have seen the development of LiDAR mapping but there has been little effort to translate these for cyclists. Cyclists are increasingly sharing lanes with motorised vehicles creating an unsafe cycling environment. Despite safety policy efforts, annual casualties increased by ~50% 2021-2023. AVs endanger cyclists more than human drivers. AVs increase accident risk in poor visibility. AVs cause 525% more accidents during dawn/dusk, 11% more in rain and hit cyclists from behind, in 96% of conflicts.
