The impact of autonomous systems on surface transport

How will the market for surface transport evolve over the next 10 – 30 years? When can we expect a big leap forward in autonomous vehicles? Will IoT architectures enable modal integration and intelligent mobility? Is it realistic to expect that we will have some autonomous vehicles on UK public roads in less than ten years? Can we achieve much higher utilisation of the rail network in the same time frame? How will all this affect journey times, safety, productivity and emissions? Is the brave new world going to be a commuter’s paradise or a more intelligent form of gridlock?
