Infrastructure
Driverless cars and other AV’s will have a significant impact on infrastructure, either requiring new solutions or making current infrastructure obsolete.
Mobility on Demand – Future of Transportation in Cities
Read full report on MIT. Mobility-on-demand systems provide stacks and racks of light electric vehicles or bicycles at closely spaced intervals throughout a city. When you want to go somewhere, you simply walk to the nearest rack, swipe a card to pick up a vehicle, drive it to the rack nearest to your destination, and drop it off. Users of mobility-on-demand systems have the convenience and comfort of private automobiles without the associated high cost, insurance requirements, need to refuel, service and repair demands, or parking problems....

The autonomous cars are coming. They are no longer science fiction, the future is here! As old vehicles phase their way out and technology eases their way in, we only have one question: how much is this technology going to save us? See below the results form the Morgan Stanley report november 2013: Image credit: https://www.quickquid.co.uk/quid-corner Morgan Stanley report

This report can be found at The Victoria Transport Policy Institute. This report explores the impacts that autonomous (also called self-driving, driverless or robotic) vehicles are likely to have on travel demands and transportation planning. It discusses autonomous vehicle benefits and costs, predicts their likely development and implementation based on experience with previous vehicle technologies, and explores how they will affect planning decisions such as optimal road, parking and public transit supply. The analysis indicates that some...
read moreWhen will you be able to buy a driverless car?
The original Blog you can find on MojoMotors There are a lot of different predictions around when the average person will actually be able to buy a self-driving car. Some automakers are already selling cars with self-driving technology. Others are predicting they will have a full lineup of self-driving cars in just over a decade. So how realistic are these predictions? The march towards autonomous cars is inevitable, but the obstacles facing the automotive industry before driverless cars reach consumers are immense. These obstacles include...
read moreDeploying autonomous vehicles
Read full report on EY Over the past 24 months, almost every major vehicle manufacturer, supplier and technology company has announced projects or collaborations around the autonomous vehicles (AVs) theme. While the notion of AVs has been alive for some time through science ction and various media, the urgency to make them a reality has gathered pace as companies outside the auto industry have illustrated the feasibility and benets that self-driving vehicles present. The deployment of AVs today is less about technological capabilities and...
