Background

The future has the opportunity to move from the current transport system centred on car ownership towards one that is

• more efficient,
• safer,
• less polluting and
• more accessible to larger parts of society.

However, new transport technologies, on their own, won't spontaneously make our lives better.

We need to upgrade our transport systems, policies and governance.

The JRC report “The future of road transport - Implications of automated, connected, low-carbon and shared mobility” looks at some main enablers of the transformation of road transport. For example:

• data governance,
• infrastructures,
• communication technologies
• cybersecurity
• legislation.

It discusses the potential impacts on

• economy,
• employment and skills,
• energy use and emissions, the
• sustainability of raw materials,
• democracy, privacy and social fairness
• urban development
