Smart Mobility
The age of smart mobility is now.
With new advances in disruptive technologies hitting the road every day—automated driving, connectivity, big data, electrification, shared mobility, and mobility-as-a-service—the world is arriving at the new possible.
Virtually every industry will be disrupted as the balance between transportation of people and goods is upended. Connected technologies will allow cars to continually communicate to the vehicles, people, and roads around them to make driving safer and our smart cities smarter.
