ABSTRACT

Almost everything in this book so far has concerned the past or the present. In this chapter we venture forward, mindful of the advice that ‘prediction is very hard, especially about the future’ (advice given perhaps independently by Neils Bohr, Danish atomic physicist, and then by Yogi Berra, US baseball player and team manager). In the spirit of this advice, what we present in this chapter about transport's future is more in the form of suggestions as to how transport could unfold than predictions as to how it will unfold.
