Tired of sitting in traffic? Wish the public transit system in your city could be a viable way to move around? Oren presents the future of public transportation: on-demand shuttle networks. A fleet of dynamically routed vans adapts to the real-time demand and traffic conditions, and provides users with efficient and convenient mobility. Data is the infrastructure of the dynamic shuttle network which can be rapidly and inexpensively deployed in cities across the globe.
Oren shares the story behind Via: the world's first dynamic shuttle network.

Oren is a former consultant at McKinsey, and has spent 10 years in the Israeli Air Force developing and deploying real-time avionic systems. Oren holds a PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science where he focused on finding simplifying patterns in complex biological phenomena.
