Mobility, Technology and Safety: The Next 20 Years

This report explores what the next 20 years may bring in terms of transportation technology and potential safety issues in urban areas. It discusses the history and future of urban mobility technology including regulatory aspects and safety challenges. Topics include: vehicle sharing, ridesourcing, urban density, online shopping and parcel delivery, climate change, advanced driver assistance systems, autonomous vehicles, and micromobility. Key conclusions reached are that motor vehicles will continue to be the main source of traffic fatalities, autonomous vehicles will not be widely available by 2040, advanced driver assistance systems will be widespread, resilience will need to be built into infrastructure as climate change worsens, and parcels will be delivered via new technologies.
