In the recent years, within the general trend of rapid innovation and digitalization, the mobility landscape has changed considerably, with the so-called “three revolutions”: shared, electric and automated, leading to the emergence of new mobility solutions. New modes appear (and disappear) at a blink of an eye, without any prior information or notification, and -typically- without any regulation or coordination (at least initially). We are called to forecast the impact of highly automated vehicles, urban air mobility, and others, when the technology is not yet here, and the trajectories for transition from e.g. a fully conventional vehicle fleet to a partly or fully automated one is expected to take decades. These uncertainties are not only related to the technological characteristics and the capacity of the vehicles, but also on the business models that will become wide-spread (e.g. individually owned vs. shared).
