VC activity in mobility tech continued to cool in Q2, with deal value declining 31.9% quarter-over-quarter to $10.5 billion.

Last-mile delivery hauled in the most capital of any segment, notching $2.8 billion as entrepreneurs and investors continued to respond to ecommerce's relentless demands with an array of solutions aimed at reorganizing how goods are moved, warehoused, tracked and delivered.
