What does the future of mobility look like in Dubai? And what happens when mobility is designed around convenience, trust and everyday family life?
In Episode 6 of Auto Futurecast Season 2, Chris Kirby is joined by Lauren Hamilton, Founder of Ride Skipper, for a conversation exploring a very different side of mobility.
Lauren shares how a personal challenge led her to build an on-demand driver service in Dubai, designed to give families and individuals a trusted way to get from A to B in their own cars.
The conversation explores family mobility, school runs, airport transfers, on-demand drivers, safety, trust and the operational challenges of running a driver-based mobility business. Lauren also discusses the role of technology in scaling Ride Skipper, including the complexity of driver logistics and knowing where technology can help — and where human interaction still matters.
Chris and Lauren also get into the realities of building a mobility startup in Dubai, from insurance and fuel costs to recruitment, unit economics, fundraising and finding the right investors.
If you're interested in Dubai mobility, family transportation, on-demand drivers, mobility startups, ride-hailing alternatives and the future of urban transport, this episode offers a unique perspective on how mobility services are evolving.
