New technologies such as automation are revolutionizing mobility and user behavior. We must use these advances to center the safety, accessibility, and sustainability of our mobility systems. What public policy, public engagement, infrastructure, and insurance solutions are arising in response to address the public’s perception of these emerging technologies? How are these emerging modes and technologies being integrated within the existing ecosystem of public transportation and the allocation of public space?
