Transport

We champion travel and transport for people by air, sea, rail and road. We focus on opportunities for engineering and technology. Bringing together experts from industry, academia and government, we deliver programmes of activity, inspired by issues of the day and innovation around the transport from autonomous vehicles to integrated systems and beyond.

Autonomy in transport: Could crashes soon be a thing of the past?

In this EngShort we discuss the deployment of autonomous transport and the new opportunities and challenges it brings. Automation is widely expected to increase road safety as most crashes are caused by human error. 

Do you think crashes will be a thing of the past with the rise of autonomous transport systems?
