#88: City Series: David Estrada of Bird




Autonocast show

Summary: Los Angeles might be a city built for cars, but it's become one of the first cities where the hot trend of on-demand micromobility has caught on. To help us understand the challenges and opportunities facing electric scooter sharing in LA and beyond, we are joined by David Estrada, the Chief Legal Officer of Bird. Estrada catches us up on the state of play in Los Angeles, where political challenges are leading to solutions that Bird hopes to apply to new cities as they continue their rapid expansion, and explains why some cities seem to embrace dockless scooter sharing more quickly than others. If you've been waiting for The Autonocast to do a micromobility issue, your wish has been granted... and be sure to stay tuned for more episodes on this fascinating new mobility segment.
