Summary

A recent plan is now calling for $2 billion in order to achieve 260 km of cycling connections, spanned over 14 focus areas, by 2030.Meanwhile in San Diego, the city is proposing more than 20 new rules for e-scooters, including requiring companies to use technology to alert users when they ride into illegal areas and slow them if needed or requiring operators respond to scooter complaints within an hour. The state and its Department of Transportation will also cover $47 million plus a $4.67 million in contingencies for road work that includes road widening, traffic signals and a new interchange.Other deals that got my attention …Apex.AI, a mobility and autonomous applications software developer, said Daimler Truck has made a strategic minority investment in the company.CH-AUTO Technology Corp., a Chinese EV company, agreed to go public with special purpose acquisition company Mountain Crest Acquisition Corp IV in a deal valued at nearly $1.7 billion, including debt, Reuters reported.RideTandem, a mobility startup trying to tackle the problem of “transport poverty,” raised $2.16 million in seed funding. The company works with local taxi, minicab and coach companies to provide shared commuter services in areas with poor public transport connectivity.Shenzhen State Fuel Cell Corporation, a Chinese provider of hydrogen used in fuel cell vehicles, is considering a Nasdaq debut early next year via a SPAC merger that would land it a $1 billion valuation after listing.Spirit Airlines rejected JetBlue’s $3.6 billion all-cash offer. The partnership will also see Embark help US Xpress identify the best terminals in their national network for autonomous delivery based on volume.Sensible 4, a Finnish self-driving technology company, completed a 2.5-month autonomous driving pilot in Tampere, Finland, that aimed to see how AVs work with public transportation networks and collect feedback from users.Volta Trucks revealed its product, services and manufacturing roadmap to bring its electric commercial vehicles into the North American market as part of its Route to Zero Emissions strategy. The factory will serve existing joint ventures with automakers like BMW and Daimler, as well as other partnerships that Sila has not publicly named.Stellantis said it will spend $2.8 billion (CAD $3.6 billion) to increase production of electric vehicles at two of its Canadian plants.VW Group CEO Herbert Diess wrote a post on LinkedIn that gives a little insight into the company’s deal with Qualcomm. Next week, we’ll be watching Aeye, Canoo, Innoviz, Lordstown, Rivian and Workhorse.Here is a rundown of some mobility companies that reported Q1 earnings.The AV developer reported an operating loss of $143 million, a slight improvement from the $192 million loss in the same year-ago period. It’s called “collaboration revenue” — Aurora took in $42 million — for development work associated with the company’s agreement with Toyota, which will support its planned ride-hailing product.
