The Future of Intelligent Mobility
Individual elements of 'mobility' began to homogenise from the invention of the wheel. But it takes time for apparently unconnected elements to merge into a comprehensive solution due to imagination and what may be possible. However, as the term 'Intelligent Mobility Solutions' implies, a broader view of mobility is necessary.
For example, considering how to help people with disabilities to travel on public transport initially led to making space on buses and trains for wheelchairs but with a wider view, helped by the Disability Discrimination Act (1995), the whole journey began to be considered and led to raised kerbs at bus stops, drop kerbs and so on. Yet even this was more of a 'tick list' for a time but far more can be achieved now.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is evolving rapidly and the desire appears to be to end individual car ownership. The adoption of e-scooters is proving less straightforward than once thought with Paris now considering their removal due to deaths and injuries. Level 5 autonomy will continue to kill and injure until a serious investment separates autonomous vehicles from normal road users.
New technologies are often initially implemented with old or existing technologies which can be a recipe for disaster. Ideally, a serious attempt to provide new and disruptive technologies must include safe areas for development. TBL has a plan that would allow integration during such migration.
Energy is under threat due to the growing number EVs and the growing use of e-devices, blackouts have been 'imminent' since 2017 due to energy shortages. This is not yet the case in spite of increased demand.
Free energy surrounds us: kinetic, solar, WIFI and more, and such could be used to power our vehicles and other electrical devices. This is well understood by experts yet, for example, the Faraday Challenge aims to improve batteries by 30% over 15 years. Developing Super-Capacitors using 2D materials like Graphene and Graphene Oxide would resolve all energy issues. It is a Clean solution, unlike Lithium Batteries which are toxic and have to be disposed of very carefully. Graphene is simply Carbon, the stuff humans and our world is made of. Not something to be feared and not something which can be removed from our world - it is natural and essential and we will never be without it.
The time to develop Super-Caps for transport is now. Batteries are toxic, dangerous, highly inefficient, costly, and essentially redundant.
