SAE publishes first global standard on shared mobility

As the way people travel is transforming due to demographic shifts, technical advances and environmental concerns, the shared-mobility industry has been challenged with discrepancies in use and definition of terms.

SAE International recognized that the industry was starting to become frustrated by the lack of consensus on shared-mobility terms and definitions-there was immediate need for a standard and the SAE International Shared and Digital Mobility Committee began work on SAE J3163, “Taxonomy and Definitions for Terms Related to Shared Mobility and Enabling Technologies” in December 2017.
