Our foresight programmes generate insights and views of the future, that can be used to provoke discussion, response, thought and innovation.
Providing a data dividend paid to all citizens would mean that they are remunerated by companies for the use of their data. It could also encourage more personal data sharing and even help set standards for IoT data.

If a value can be put on every organisation’s data then, as well as opening the door to multiple new innovation opportunities for the companies involved, it can also help progress the way regulators can act.

The EU has proposed a digital service tax of 3% on the income from all commercial activities. This will give countries the rights to tax the largest companies based on a proportion of their global sales.

Manned call centres provide oversight, support and emergency response for all AVs. In the absence of drivers, most public transport vehicles require remote human supervision.

With the threat of hacks, denial of service, vandalism and theft of data, organisations seek to make AV more secure through adopting common approaches for closed, collaborative systems.

More and deeper data sharing are pivotal in enabling the AV ambition. Mobility brands eventually agree the protocols for V2X interaction and so support the use of open data sets.

Controlled environments have demonstrated the early steps for AV and are growing steadily. Airports, port terminals, factories, mines and even dedicated highways all provide safe areas for development.

The significant automation of expressway trucks is of huge commercial interest. It will transform long-haul journeys and so is the principal focus for regulation and trials across all levels of AV.

As many people value their personal space, support for a significant rise in ride-sharing may not be as high as some predict. Rethinking vehicle design for strangers travelling together is a priority.

Robo-taxis are increasingly seen as the way forward for passenger vehicles and could change both travel patterns and car ownership decisions. They are a core part of ‘Mobility as a Service’ offers.

Although AVs may have significant benefit for those without access to affordable mobility – especially the young, elderly and disabled – from the start autonomy has to be attractive for all users.

Improving the inefficient first/last mile is a major opportunity with health, energy, and efficiency benefits. Scooters, bikes, and small autonomous robots in urban environments, all play a part.
