This Technology Strategy assesses the UK’s capability in these market segments to better understand the UK’s competitive The UK must not just participate in this, advantage and to identify where investment would achieve but aspire to be at the forefront. the greatest impact. The methodology we used has been independently verified - we have selected market segments that are already large (or where growth rates are forecast to be large), Intelligent Mobility is the future of transport. It is about and in which the UK has significant strengths. harnessing innovation and emerging technologies to create more integrated, efficient and sustainable transport systems.

The autonomous vehicle is a game changer, not least because the traditional differences between the various modes of transport become indistinct as an autonomous vehicle can be everything, in principle: a private car, a taxi, a bus, a car-sharing vehicle or a shared taxi. To express it dramatically: the autonomous vehicle could be part of the public transport system – but it could also seriously threaten the existence of today’s public and long-distance transport: The autonomous vehicle can threaten the existence of public transport because it makes driving much more attractive.

Introduction Cambridge has a vibrant, expanding economy. The University, and the high-tech businesses and spin-offs which surround it, combine to make the city-region one of the UK’s top growth hot-spots and one of the greatest entrepreneurial clusters outside Silicon Valley. This climate of economic success has created great pressure on the Local Authorities to provide more high quality residential and working space in and around the city. But, in a crowded space that already experiences acute congestion problems, this poses serious challenges for the city’s transport planners. As a result, the County Council and its partners in the City Deal have begun to examine all possible options as they develop their future transport strategy for the city and its surrounding sub-region.
