We are standing in front of a small electric autonomous shuttle. Instead of a steering wheel, pedals and a driver, it has screens that show information about the climate, destinations and nearby places. An autonomous vehicle with 6 LiDARs, 2 radars and 4 cameras instead of rear-view mirrors. This transport system uses machine learning algorithms that run on a high-performance … [Read more...] about A driverless world: Autonomous, 3-D and Cognitive

Unlocking the potential of open data for transport policy-making
Measuring accessibility in cities with mobility data platform APIs (/navigation app APIs) We live in a data-driven world where 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is produced every day. These huge quantities of information provide the basis for an unprecedent richness of knowledge if structured and processed. The good news is that many of these data sets are freely available and … [Read more...] about Unlocking the potential of open data for transport policy-making
Challenges to the introduction and spread of autonomous vehicles in the Latin American metropolis
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) seem to be the solution for urban mobility today. For this reason, I would like to discuss its introduction in the Latin American context. In this region there are 68 urban areas with more than 1 million inhabitants. These 68 urban areas together account for more than 200 million inhabitants across 15 countries, bringing together 35% of the region's … [Read more...] about Challenges to the introduction and spread of autonomous vehicles in the Latin American metropolis
Light on the Seat for Two
Internet of Things (IoT) works in various parts of our lives and connects our daily life with various “things.” However, there is still a gap between people in our society, and there are vulnerable groups. How can this IoT technology be applied to connect the gap among people that exist in the transportation system and to help the mobility impaired? In this article, I would … [Read more...] about Light on the Seat for Two
Autonomous Vehicles and Future Mobility
Trends and Governance Issues We are now in the midst of a highly transformative phase for transport and mobility. Attempting to look into the crystal ball, either the disruptive and gig economy enabled mobility revolution is upon us, or the rumours of the death of the private car are greatly exaggerated. It is thus important to distinguish between hype and uncertainties. … [Read more...] about Autonomous Vehicles and Future Mobility
