Mobility’s first great inflection point appeared initially in the United States, around 1910, and spread out from there. The second inflection point will follow a different path—taking hold in more global markets, faster—though in various forms and to varied degrees.

Here are snapshots of the global mobility revolution underway in China, Europe (potentially on the forefront of redefining the nature of premium brands), Brazil and India (whose electrification path may differ from that of other regions), and the United States (a crucible for innovation and competition in the mobility ecosystem).
