When
you head to work, the ballgame, or to a Caribbean island for vacation
your method of transport is something you might not really think about.
Such daily commutes might even seem boring and mundane. For most of us,
we have a routine that consists of taking a car or train from point A to
point B and then moving back to point A. We focus on the destination,
not the trip. In the coming decade it will be time for an adjustment,
because major changes are coming.
The
technology surrounding transportation and logistics is advancing
rapidly. In the next five years to ten years, the way you go to work, go
on vacation or even get a package delivered will change significantly.
The main driver behind this technology is automation and artificial
intelligence or AI. Yes, I’m talking about robots and computers.
As
people start to accept and implement automation, transportation will
become more efficient and sustainable. This will make for a smarter and
more productive global economy. Considering 20% more people are expected
to be living in cities by 2030, new technology on how we get around and
move goods is coming just in time.
Logistics
and supply chain management systems are also evolving. AI and big data
are helping business become more efficient to track and deliver products
to your home.
As a result, we are about to experience a transportation revolution not seen since the early combustion engine was put in a car. The
future in transportation is coming fast. Whether it’s Uber, Tesla,
NVIDIA or Google, the way we use the road will be forever changed.
