Smart Mobility with Autonoumous Vehicle (AV) Technology

Connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technologies have the potential to transform the transportation industry. Using technologies such as on-vehicle sensors, smart infrastructure, and advanced wireless communications, CAVs can significantly improve safety, reduce congestion, provide greater mobility and equity, and create a more efficient transportation network.

With a rapidly urbanizing world, the need for sustainable urban mobility is increasing. Transportation accounts for about half of the carbon footprint in any city. Anything that we can do to reduce the impact of transportation in our urban spaces will reduce pollution, aid mobility, and make our cities more attractive places to live, work, and play.

Smart city mobility is a concept that has been created to address this. It has been created to make it easier for people to move around the city and help create a more sustainable future. Smart city mobility is a relatively new perspective on urban planning, transportation planning, and city planning. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers intelligent systems and technologies that can help plan and improve mobility in cities.

Since 2016, funding activity to companies working on semi-autonomous and autonomous driving technology has eclipsed all other segments of auto tech combined. Note that this includes investments in enabling technologies such as sensors, vision, 3D mapping, etc.
