Cars and beyond: Strides in personal mobility
summary
Cities gain about 2.5 billion more residents by 2050 and global population climbs from 7 to 9.3 billion, straining infrastructure. Lightweight devices like the jitta cargo vehicle join scooters and bike share—already 1 million shared bikes—for last mile work while drones and robots handle deliveries. Policy shifts and data platforms enable 25% autonomous rides by 2030 targets in Dubai and fleets like 300,000 autonomous cars proposed in Singapore. Short-term wins focus on parking, traffic data and low‑cost pilots; autonomous trucking shows early success.
