In this session, the WISE-ACT COST Action members will discuss the wider impacts of autonomous and connected transport (ACT). From an anticipated shift in travel behaviour to its societal, economic and environmental effects, ACT is associated with a range of themes also proposed by MARUF21, such as #equality, #governance, #sustainability, and #inclusiveness. The panel will shed light on the future of mobility, whether it is with or without ACT.
