At KPMG, we believe that the future of mobility – how people and goods move – represents one of the most pervasive global shifts reshaping our world, with far-reaching implications for the way we live our lives. This shift is being fuelled by the development of new technologies including electric, zero emission, connected and autonomous vehicles as well as changes in consumer behaviour leading to more on-demand, digital enabled solutions such as Mobilty-as-a-Service. 

While the economic and societal benefits will be significant there are vital policy questions to answer such as:

• What will be the impact on public transport and road congestion?
• What are the ethics and privacy implications for citizens?
• How will energy markets be affected?
• What will be the effects on government finances?
• How will this shift affect regional communities?
• How will the lives of the elderly and disabled be affected?

This is a historic and societal shift. Governments, transport agencies, policy makers and the wider industry must grapple with the implications while enabling a safe and timely transition.
