The Future of Mobility in Cities in 2020

There are more mobility options for cities than ever before. You no longer need to wait for the future of mobility. That future is here and now!

Wondering what the future of mobility is all about? Keep reading to find out.

 

Self-Driving Cars

 

Once upon a time, self-driving cars seemed like something out of science fiction. Now, however, they are poised to become part of our daily lives.

While individual automated rides may soon be stored in every rich person's garage, the big growth area for autonomous driving is public transit. Automated taxis and buses may completely change how we travel within the city.

Such technology may also make use of apps in the same way that Uber currently does. With the press of a button, you'll be able to summon a self-driving ride!

 

Bikes and Boards Are Back

 

If you take a look around cities, you may be surprised to see so many alternatives to cars. It seems like more people than ever on traveling on bikes, scooters, hoverboards, and even old-fashioned skateboards.

You might think this is stepping backward instead of forwards. However, these forms of "micro-mobility" are a logical alternative to clogged streets and slow public transit. Depending on someone's commute, such forms of mobility may be far quicker than a car, taxi, or subway.

Additionally, micro-mobility technology is constantly evolving. Everything is lighter and more efficient than in previous years, so there has never been a better time to "downscale" your city mobility.

 

The Future Is Electric

 

One of the mobility trends for 2020 has been building for a while now. What are we talking about? Electric vehicles.

Regulations on such vehicles have gotten lighter and consumer interest has only grown. Thanks to these two factors, electric vehicle adoption rates are on the rise.

Such vehicles are good for the environment as well as for the wallet. On a long enough timeline, gasoline-powered vehicles may nearly go extinct!
