The company says that it will first start collecting information from people from different walks of life across the world about the kind of travel and transport issues that they face.
It will later carry out an in-depth analysis and the insights from the analysis can lead to some real-world experiments and multiple approaches which can be effective in solving those transport and travel issues.
The next stage is to develop a business and technology platform upon which the solution can be developed and launched.
