Future of
mobility
The average speed
of a vehicle in London
during rush hour
is about 11 km/h.
The speed is exactly the same as a hundred years ago with horses.
Have we ended up the transport
system nobody wants?
- traffic jams
- emissions
- accidents
- uneconomical performance, low
utilisation, inefficiency…
Silent
revolution is
here
Changing values, attitudes and behaviour
In welfare societies people
take surviving for granted
> Increased pursuit of life satisfaction and meaning
 Buying things make people worry
 Nothing material is intrinsically valuable
 Every purchase will go down in price over time

Conclusion
Human well-being and good living
conditions of future generations can be
increased by the multi-modal mobility
services
 city bikes
 car-sharing
 collective transport (run by government and
private companies), including self-driving
shared vehicles
A deep shift towards multi-modal
mobility services in society
is possible when people recognise
that their own, personal benefits
can be combined with the
ecological and social benefits.
