Future of autonomous vehicles initial perspective - 8 october 2018Future Agenda
Future of Autonomous Vehicles
With so much investment and tech development underway, many are asking where, how and when will we see self-driving cars, buses and trucks on the streets in earnest? A host of companies, cities and countries are competing and collaborating to move things forward – but is could be a decade or so before there is mass market traction. In addition, what about seaborne AV as well as drones, air-taxis and, maybe, pilotless planes?
Ahead of the launch of a detailed initial perspective in Shanghai in November this is a summary of 30 of the key issues that experts have already raised. As part of a major global open foresight programme we will be running 15 events around the world in the first half of 2019 exploring these and additional issues – building an informed, global view for all.
We have many key locations already defined, but if you are interested in hosting or co-hosting one of these events, do let us know and we can include as we work on the overall schedule. As with all our projects (e.g. www.futureofpatientdata.org) we will share all insights from each location and publish a global synthesis.

Economics of Crossrail (Microeconomics)Eton College
Europe’s largest construction project
Crossrail will increase London's rail capacity by 10%
Crossrail route will run >100km from Reading and Heathrow in the west to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east.
40 Crossrail stations including 10 new stations
Crossrail will bring an extra 1.5 million people to within 45 minutes of central London
Total funding available to deliver Crossrail is £14.8bn
Costs outside the £14.8 billion funding package include the estimated £1 billion cost of buying trains, the majority of which will be funded directly by Transport for London
There are great expectations around the future of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and equally much uncertainty. Some believe that AVs will transform safety and efficiency and are making significant investments in this area. Others are concerned that the technological developments are outpacing society’s ability to adapt, and there is an urgent requirement to develop better regulation before there is widespread deployment. A global Open Foresight project exploring the key issues for the future of AVs is being undertaken by Future Agenda. Expert workshops around the world are building the informed view.
This project was kicked-off with a global review of the emerging landscape for autonomous vehicles. As well looking at the historical context for self-driving cars and trucks, this initial perspective explores the benefits of AVs; different issues for the movement of people vs. goods; the three primary drivers of adoption and the primary centres for innovation. It also includes commentary on the parallel developments in seaborne and air-based autonomous vehicles. It ends with some of the key questions to be explored by the project.
Sustainable Transport Best Practices andBarry Wellar
The 2007 Fleming Lecture begins with a brief review of Canada’s progress in achieving core element standing for geographic factors in sustainable transport best practices. This part of the paper grounds sustainable transport in metropolitan regions, and then establishes the essential role of geographic factors in the sustainability of transport systems in Canada, and particularly in its metropolitan transportation systems. With that foundation in place, the paper then presents findings that reveal the extremely limited implementation of nine sustainable transport best practices in Canada’s metropolitan regions, and the consequent lack of regard for geographic factors in matters related to achieving sustainable transport practices.
The world has been watching China’s economic growth and Shanghai is at the center of it all. With over 20 million in population, the Shanghai Bus Company is the largest in the world with over 1100 routes and the Shanghai Metro, that just opened its first line in 1995, will be the largest system in the world by 2012 with 20 lines and 345 stations. Shanghai has embraced new pathways to success in transporting the overwhelming population by staying on the cutting edge of technology and services. This efficiently
planned transportation system has strengthened the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of Shanghai. In this session you will learn the best practices that keep Shanghai residents moving.

An Urban Design Approach to a Sustainable Compact City in New Growth Potentia...drboon
Existence of Cities always depends on the region for the resources-land, food, water, energy or maybe cheap labor. The resource base is vital for the survival of the cities. With increasing urban sprawl there is a great impact on the future of cities and their sustenance. The primary intent of the study is to demonstrate an Urban Design approach towards a sustainable compact urban model in new growth potential areas (case of Cyberabad, Hyderabad, India) as a means to counteract city’s faceless sprawl and environmental degradation by generating compact high density, low energy, mixed-use living and integrating it with the existing city fabric reducing the ecological footprint for future generations. As the selected site offers good natural features, ecologically sensitive areas of the site i.e. Steep slope areas, catchment channels and climatically unsuitable areas from the open space system of the development. The sustainable compact city design approach balances the environmental loads and the growth of city saving resources, conserving energy and enhancing the quality of life.
China has emerged as a key location for outsourced R&D operations especially in Telecom, Software and Electronics. The offshoring wave in China started nearly a decade later than in India.

Social Media Brand Strategy: The Four Districts ApproachDiamond Marketing
Break the rules and your brand will suffer...
Social media is just over 10 years old yet in the past decade it has catapulted artists from the fringe to fame, re-invented journalism, toppled governments, and has become the biggest disruption to the media paradigm since TV was invented.

34. Who are the TRUE competitors?
汇onverge
Overall competition Future outlook on competitors
• Likely to increase since many
players are trying to get into
the EV/AV space
• Competition is moving from
price to technology focus—
positive impact on op. margins
Volvo to win category
• Develop and launch
autonomous bus ahead of
competition
• Work with local partners
Player Assessment Impact
ABEB
World’s first autonomous bus in trial
• Likely to launch in the next 3 years in China
Launched CityPilot
• Autonomous bus from Schiphol to Haarlem
Electric buses are not gaining traction
• Focused more on EV
Gaining traction in China and world
• SZ deal cancelled
• Liverpool deal signed for 12 buses (10/24/16)
35. Pollution, high stress level, and traffic congestion
Are key drivers of rising health & wellness solutions
Pollution Stress Congestion
• 2015 was the “worst” year in
Chinese pollution history
• Beijing issued its first red alert
• Migration from low-skill labour to
middle-skill labour with a fast
pace of life lead to illness
• Beijing and Shanghai ranks
highest in most congested city
contributing to pollution
汇onverge
36. Three main trends indicate a shift in trajectory
Of the electric transit vehicle category
Climate change and noise
control
• China is trying to curb pollution
• Mostly noisy diesel buses
Early adopters: smaller cities
• Wuhu is to establish an
autonomous driving zone
• California: 0 emission fleets
“Once you go electric, you
don’t go back”
• Technological capabilities have
caught up to replace diesel/bio
• A bus starts and stops 500 times in a single route
(source: Proterra), vibrations that can shake buildings
• ”Key EV Project” to subsidies to auto manufacturers
• Willingness is demonstrated by cities to trade up for
better buses
• “Thousand of Vehicles, Tens of Cities”
• Shenzhen EV charging pilot: 78 public charging stations
• Low turnover for buses are attractive to transit
companies
• 15 years of life cycle use
