Many of the future of mobility’s shiniest toys—flying cars, robot taxis, electric airplanes—are on the horizon, but not necessarily practical modes of transport just yet. But big investment in other mobility technologies, such as electrification, autonomous vehicles (AVs), mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) platforms and in-vehicle commerce, indicates massive changes to our global transportation system are imminent and will disrupt transportation both inside and outside cities. Companies that extract the most value from mobility-of-the-future opportunities will not only win by innovating; they will also out-flex and out-collaborate competitors.

Here, we discuss the future of urban mobility and the technologies that will disrupt transportation as we know it.
