Our foresight programmes generate insights and views of the future, that can be used to provoke discussion, response, thought and innovation.
As autonomous buses are introduced, other mobility solutions will also have to be used to fill transportation gaps. Security, flexibility, reach and interconnectivity are primary criteria.

For AV to have impact it may be necessary to rethink a more flexible approach to planning. Poor coordination between transit systems, urban planning and future solutions may delay the benefits.

Investment in timely drone delivery services accelerates deployment in several locations, but the roll-out of air-taxis may not be as widespread as many hope. Large scale impact is limited.

Effective deployment of AVs as part of integrated public transport systems may mean not only fewer vehicles on the roads, but also parking spaces can be removed and roads can become narrower.

Decreasing congestion on the roads is a core ambition for AV advocates but many recognise that, with mixed fleets operating for several years, we many initially see an increase in urban traffic.

Ensuring that autonomous vehicles are cleaner than alternative options may be a pre-requisite in many cities while the benefit of AVs for wider society is a crucial issue for wider endorsement.

International standards and commonly-shared technologies may be essential for driving global rather than regional AV adoption. Without them a more fragmented approach will be taken.

Reducing accidents and road deaths caused by humans is a political priority behind support for AV. While benefits can be gained from ADAS, the promise of significant safety improvements is pivotal.

The regions that gain most initially will be those where there is advanced regulation to act as a catalyst for AV deployment. Addressing information sharing, collaboration, and liability are critical.

Technology will allow multiple variables to be compared in real-time, producing a 3D view allowing traders to consider what they are buying, why they are buying it and the impact that this may have instantaneously.

In response to longer lives with chronic diseases, we see more ‘stratified care’ – providing acute services to those with greatest need, and enabling others with information and tools to self-manage at home and in the community.

Although some see limits to their application, going forward Special Economic Zones are expected to play a continued major role in providing the facilities for accelerating change and improving trade efficiency.
