c,mm,n garage November 7th 2008

Please look at the 3rd cmmn garage page for the pages on the 3rd c,mm,n garage on 7 november in Enschede.

c,mm,n garage February 16th 2008

In this chapter you will find the content of the first c,mm,n garage. It contains the content that is developed in brainstorms and discussions on the 16th of February 2008. Feel free to read it and discuss it at the discussion tab.

Earning money with c,mm,n

The community can earn money when the organization is captured in a cooperation. This cooperation could facilitate the process, and could be responsible for liability of the car in use phase. Members of the community can pay for their membership, or contribute with effort in the community. When some part, idea, concept or service is used or produced and thus generates money, the maker of this idea can earn his or her fair share.

We can ask custumers to join the coop now and (pre) order mobility services, maybe even be able to order a car now and get the car delivered in 2010. "Hi dad, you can order some mobility service, you can order here! When your order now you will also get the newest car in 2011 :-)".

Research mobile services there are now and the results/values those solutions could create for the car drivers this moment. Relaunch such services out of the mobility concept.

Reward people who drive with four persons in their car now! Launch a mobile service out of the coop which will motivate to drive less or use the car so effective as possible. Offer an online meeting room services (there are already enough services, but reposition it out of the coop as one ofhe mobility service, the car will be one of the mobility services as well.

Change your leasecontract to a mobility service now!. You get a brand new c'mm'n car for free in 2010! Do it now, save money, join the c,mm,n drivers now and save money on your lease payments:-)

"I dad I have nice job in the common.coop while I'm doing my study. I'm a designer and sometimes manager of the new dakroof which 7.500 consumer has bought already!"

Problem with open source communities this moment: no liability, no professionality, no income for the experts on their sleepingroom, no start capital.

In the Netherlands they worked on an other business structure named "Flexibele BV" Check this out . This is actually the cooperation thoughts. There is also an europen cooperation structure possible.

Job creation: tester, support by accidents (a sort of ANWB, the nearest common expert member will help) People who will create a path with nice point of views. Parkplace service....only for common cars. We will think and workout idea's of the talents and skills of people who want to do something.

car-dating systems and c,mm,n

How to maximize c,mm,n's transportation capacity?

Shared transport: public transport Disadvantages: Fixed schedule and routes (not flexible) Public space (no privacy) Advantages: No active driving required so people can spend their time "useful"

Shared transport: common car use Sharing mobility demands and offering mobility services within a community. Therefore we need a community and a platform (internet, IT) Communities require a common interest in order to link individuals. Therefore individuals should be able to profile themselves within the community by means of common interests. Mobility community should be linked to a broader social community.

Shared transport: dedicated transport Mobility should be adapted to specific user demands. Aim is to stop abuse of family car as commuter car (company car).

technologies: vehicle dynamics

Personal dynamic behaviour.

Driver's profile to fulfill personal needs wrt vehicle behaviour, comfort and vehicle interaction.

Extra risks

Risk perception of driver influenced by all the technology (more passive driver)

Restrictions

Very light vehicle is unable to carry heavy loads, eg trailers

4-Wheel (independent) steering

Advantages to classic steering with respect to vehicle dynamics, tyre wear, parking, etc. Using modeling and simulation results to support this and creating design parameters. For designing appropriate dynamic behaviour, the performance should be known in advance (what range of speeds).

Aerodynamics

Remove external mirrors and replace with small digital camera's (screen inside car).

Drive by wire

Haptic feedback is needed.

Transitions: how to introduce c,mm,n in society

Launch a mobility service which end users can use now. For example: - A car share service in a mobile solution (maybe join one of the car share project sites there are this moment). Keep it simple in the first step (maybe a sms service), when you are in Rotterdam and you want to go to Amsterdam, send the text "Rotterdam Amsterdam" to XXXX. This message will send to a group of people who are member of the common car services, live in Rotterdam and will archive on a website they drive almost every week arround that time from Rotterdam to Amsterdam (need a workout in details, but could be a service which wil start with the introduction of the c,mm,n car. - Maybe even a car dating service?!

- Reward people when they drive with four persons in one car? (maybe students will make pictures of cars where four people are in the car). Those persons will get a reward (in one way or an other we know the home address).. Or maybe we drop the pictures on a website (are you a good common car driver???)

- Make funny stickers or big traffic boards with one liners like: "Only common cars may park here"). Place it on private area's

- Just sale the car as a pre registration. Buy now, get 4% rent of your money. The car will be delivered on 1-1-2010 on the biggest newyear common party race through the world. Start a world estafette tour. On a GoogleMap people you can register to drive 100 km with the most newest car on earth. Plan which part you want to drive here.... The car goes from Rotterdam to Arnhem, to Groningen, to Amsterdam, back to Utrecht. Munchen, etc... The trip cost 100 euro... register now!


Above of idea's could be launched maybe the best out of a coöperation. Which means, that customers will be members and owner of the coop, which will produce the common car. The resources will stay Open Source. The coöperation will be the vehicle to start the sales proces. Order the services now, and the Common car will come soon! Make money with your common car, when you drive with four persons, you will get free commonmiles!

Transitions: social acceptance of c,mm,n and how to make money out of c,mm,n

insert your report here c,mm,n platform (community) How to get c,mm,n socaial expected? - give before you taken - fast (les time) - easy to join - customizing your own mobility google is a good example. they make life easier and help people to find information. The same for c,mm,n. c,mm,n makes life easier. It helps you to to find the best possible solution for your mobility questions.


two ways: development of services - lease your mobility with a mobility card. People don'tplan there actions longer than 48 hours. -- a bigger car when needed -- ov bycle at the transferium - parking place with a OV bicyle - buyers consortium, co"operation

product development to customise your own car. People design their own homes customize their clothes. I would like to have a car wich is small on monday to friday and big in the weekend. In summer a open roof. When I am alone I would like to watch televion and have a conversation when i drive with someone. a car with a varible wielbasis. You can make it bigger when more people or goods need transportation.

Roadmaps: c,mm,n market introduction

Keep the Open Source structure as it is. Create a coöperation and sale some mobility services tomorrow which car drivers can save money now (for example carsharing, cardating) And maybe a pre registration to but the car. Just sale the car now deliver in 2010. Make a joint venture with such kind of services there are now. Or actually let them join the coöp. Joining the coöp will keep them stay in business. Again, make the coop totally separate of the Open Source. Explain why you should buy the car now. The coop will support the Open Source common car. I think the RaboBank and the government will join the coop earlier because we show them we can make money than when they will drop money in a big black foundation hole! Ofcourse the coop wil have some special judgments. All the profit goes to the Open Source common group. No money for a director! No money for the management! No people on the pay role! Make it an open Book keeping on a website. Show the world we already bought a car, show the world where the money did going. Let people join the coop as a payed member (they can earn money in return, don't ask donation!, ask money, create value and give more money back in the end of the line, the coop will share the profit with the community).

Technologies: structural design, safety and remanufacturing

Requirements

Requirements fot the structursl architecture of c,mm,n:

  • Safety, with a focus on primary (active) safety
  • Mass, low mass is easier to make sustainable
  • ...?

General concapts

Some general concapts for the structural elements of the car, described front, or impact, to back:

  • Classic: crumple zone ][ cage ][ people
  • Smart: crumple zone other car ][ cage ][ people
  • Nido: cage ][ crumple zone ][ people

Transitions: steps towards partly and fully autonomous driving

The current situation with regard to Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is that a lot of vehicles have Anti-lock Bracking Systems (ABS), few vehicles have Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and most premium car brands offer advanced systems like adaptive cruise control (ACC). C,mm,n has a vision of driving fully automated on the driver's wishes. This discussion was about what problems would be encountered in the traject from the situation nowadays to the C,mm,n-vision.

It seems that this transition will be very gradually, which is necessary because people will need time to get used to the new kind of driving. This is an issue of getting adjusted to the new kind of human-machine interface; they will have to become familiar with a vehicle that sometimes will intervene in or completely take over control. Furthermore, people will need time before they fully trust their autonomous driving car. To get this trust, it’s obvious that primary systems will need to be implemented redundantly to minimize the risk of failure.

A result of the discussion is a concept in which the infrastructure exists of different areas (road types). While driving in a particular area, a mandatory set of ADAS is prescribed to be active. For example, vehicles would drive fully autonomous on separated parts of the motorways. On the other side, drivers in areas that are not congested at all and that have low risk of accident, have full control over their vehicles; that is, they may choose themselves which ADAS to activate. Sometimes, drivers have the choice of which area they will enter, and with that, the kind of driving they wish (autonomous or manual).

Not part of the discussion:

The proposed concept makes it possible to give the driver feedback on his current level of ADAS-activation. Based on driver monitoring, the advice could be to increase the activation level, if the driver is underperforming, because demands are too high. In contrast, the driver could also be asked to decrease the activation level if he’s underperforming because of low arousal. Karma (KAR Mobile Assistant) that's presented in C,mm,n 1.0 may be appropriate to give this feedback.

There will be a moment that fully autonomous driving is introduced in the future. At that moment, there should be an acceptable percentage of all vehicles that are compatible with the autonomous driving system of the infrastructure. However, this implies that new cars produced in the years before the introduction should already have the possibility to make them compatible with a small extra investment. After all, its unlikely that parts of the infrastructure can be reserved just for 'C,mm,n-vehicles'.


What kind of functionalities could we offer car users now? Maybe a common ICT solution which will promote car sharing and or better information to follow your trip by train. When the c'mm'n car is ready we offer features which only will work in the c'mm'n car and or have to build in the old cars.

Maybe we need an interactive game? Driving with your brains! Consumers must train their brain first before they start driving the c'mn'n car :-) Nice 1 April joke. We did saw the neurofeedback system working. What can we use of this idea?

Roadmaps & communication: c,mm,n 2.0 project development

Workout of the coop idea.

Based on the idea to facilitate the Open Source mobility thoughts with a cooperation we will organize a team which will workout the details. The rough idea is to create a cooperation where:

  • End user can pre register and buy/invest in one or more mobility services.
  • Experts who offer the services can be payed by the money generated by the pre registration.


Goal of this idea is:

  • Raising capital from end users (launching customers) and investors.
  • More independency of sponsors and investors.
  • A stimulation for all kind of people to think and start using mobility services.
  • Better professional support for the end users.
  • Less competition more collaboration with manufacturers, garages and other business partners.
  • A new business model which can be used as a nice marketing introduction model. Mobility services strycurized by the crowd.
  • Encourage to workout idea's and oppertunities together.
  • Aa structure where everyone can add value and make earnings.
  • The right skills and experience appeared on the right place and time (this moment every OS expert is running after a customer with most of the time not the right skills and experience).


We have to workout the follwing steps:

  • Identify the common interests who are willing to champion this coop idea.
  • Study the feasibility of the idea.
  • converting the feasibility study to a businessplan.
  • conducing the equity drive.
  • launching the business.


What happens when the idea of facilitating Open Source with coops is good?

  • A lot of Open Source communities and other bussiness will learn of this concept and will probaly formalize together more as well.
  • Huge market for cooperative business consultants :-)
  • People can create their own job each day (a new way of life).


Some principles before we start the workout: Summarized out of this document: http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/rbs/pub/sr54.pdf

  • Joining this project ask the highest level of ethics and declare any conflicts of individuals, real or perceived, so that everyone can be a credible source of object feedback and an articulate advocate of the project as needed.
  • Understand we develop a concept that should promote social empowerment and economic goals.
  • Applied appropriately, this concept create value to all kind of population groups.
  • Like every cooperative is different, this coop will be unique as well in respond to its unique economic, social and cultural context.
  • We have to take essential steps in a critical path to succeed.
  • We need a enthusiastic group of trustworthy leaders which are able to shape a vision and understand we have to facilitate an inspire ongoing training to the members.
  • Cooperatives only work when they are market driven. We have to take care we keep in sync with the technical possibilities in the Open Source development.
  • Democratic member control is essential for success.
  • Succes of the coop depends on the commitment of the member's time and financial resources.
  • There must be a tangible economic benefit for each member what ever kind of role each member will play.
  • The services and products we launch out of the coop must generate sufficient revenue so that the effort can be financially self-sustaining. Provisions must be made to share any surplus quitably.
  • We should have the intention to transcend national boundaries.
  • A community can be very powerfull. It's not based on enemy but on econimic oppertunity. It enender sacrifice, commitment and loyalty which will help the coop to survive, even in bad times.
  • People make investments for more than econimic reasons they want to be part of a cause.
  • The goal line or the definition of success mus be painted in bold lines and commonly accepted by the project contributors and investors.
  • Evanglism is required for cooperation to occur, and while based on emotions, it is never anti intellectual. it requires objectivity, enthusiasm and emotion balanced with wisdom.
  • Faith will be the essential element and adds a considearble business strength and efficiency to the organization.
  • Faith will create the spiritual dimension in the coop which bring the coop to life and will keep the business in the air for a long time.
  • Truth and nothing else than the truth requires a discipline uncommon to political or social organization efforts. It's humbling and empowering.


Which groups can we identify and categorize as member of the coop?

  • CommonMembers (users of basic mobility services).
  • Investors (don't name them sponsors anymore!) They will get value in return (money and more...).
  • CommonExperts
  • Garage dealers
  • Car Manufacturers (don't name them competitors, though collaborators).

etc..


What kind of coop will we actually create? Nice thing of a cooperation is that you can build a company in a way you want the company should be. In the meantime there are a lot of coops which could be categorized. In the Netherlands we have:

  • Cooperation BA (Beperkt aansprakelijk),
  • U(Uitgesloten)A and
  • W(WettelijkA.

In the USA and Canada they talk about: Social, Buyer, Service coop etc.. This moment I don't know any coops which facilitate Open Source. So maybe we reinvent a new sort coop (Open Source coop). the only I know are www.coop-it.nl (but is a coop in sleep this moment).


Steps to take: 1. Analyse the idea of creating a coop (let's have a meeting with some key persons).

When we all see this is the way to go, we take the following steps: 1. Gathering the people who have the intention to join the coop.

  • How can we do this? How much time and money we need for this part? How to finance?

2. If we have a group of people with the right intentions we can create a steering commitee.

3. When we have a steering commitee we can start a feasibility study.

  • Start a survey under potential end users, experts and other stakeholders!
  • How many potential users will join the coop?

4. When we have feasibility results we can complete a businessplan.

5. Execute the steps out of the businessplan.
