Transportation Mobility

The Shift to Autonomous Transit

Urban centers worldwide are grappling with the limitations of traditional transit infrastructure. As populations grow, the "last-mile" problem becomes more acute, leading to increased congestion and carbon emissions.

Smart city integration offers a solution through autonomous mobility-as-a-service (MaaS). By leveraging real-time data from IoT sensors, cities can optimize traffic flow and reduce individual vehicle dependency.

Policy Impediments

However, the transition is not purely technical. Policy frameworks must evolve to address liability, data privacy, and the ethical implications of algorithmic decision-making in public spaces.
