Scoot scoot! Scooter wars rage in LA. Join us next week to find out how a humble data standard can transform cities’ capacity to regulate micro-mobility companies. We’ll hear from developers and maintainers of the new Mobility Data Specification (MDS). They’ll share how it felt to see their work in Wired and reveal their hopes and dreams for new streams of mobility data.
