Mobility is undergoing one of the most transformational social, technological and economic shifts of a generation, shaped by three key disruptive forces: electric vehicles and alternative powertrains, connected and autonomous vehicles and on‑demand mobility services.

Sectors are being disrupted, with new markets emerging, while others are converging, and some are disappearing entirely.

  • Connected and autonomous vehicles. Speed of adoption is likely to vary significantly by region, based on availability of infrastructure, pace of R&D, public acceptance and the regulatory environment..
