ABSTRACT

The future of artificial intelligence (AI) in mobility is not just products; it’s transportation planning, urban design, real-time traffic management and control, transport policy, environmental issues, AI governance in mobility, and cooperation and collaboration with a lot of entities, in fact all of these things plus more people add in the future. Autonomous cars and trucks, self-organizing fleets, smart containers, driver-less taxis, and smart cities are just some examples of the reality to come for the transportation industry. The first iterations of the transition to autonomous cars have already happened: there are cars available in the market, offering advanced active safety systems – technology helping the driver to avoid accidents and risky situations – for example, auto-breaking, road-sign understanding, lane deviation alerts, and more. Transportation companies – including technology startups – are working on the development of autonomous trucks and other vehicles for professional purposes.
