“ DATA CAN BE LEVERAGED TO FORGE AN OVERARCHING MOBILITY SYSTEM IN WHICH E-MOBILITY PLAYS A CENTRAL ROLE ”
CARLO RATTI PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE OF URBAN TECHNOLOGIES AND PLANNING AT MIT
ENABLING SHARED MOBILITY AND SUSTAINABLE URBAN PLANNING
Looking at the EV landscape with a broader lens means city planners will consider electrified and autonomous vehicles in their endeavours . With the introduction of shared mobility , regulations and demand are likely to shift towards more publicly-available means of transport , which will reshape the way people navigate cities .
Understanding the routes that AVs take and how they interact with their environments could drive strategies and plans for charging locations to optimise the routes for autonomous taxis and the energy consumption of such services .
“ Self-driving cars can promote car- and ride-sharing , hence changing urban mobility . Also , they can have a major effect on urban infrastructure ,” says Ratti .
