This is one vision of mobility in the year 2040. Driven by the fourth industrial revolution, technological convergence, new entrants in the mobility space, and changing travel behaviors, we expect the pace of innovation in passenger transportation to accelerate over the next quarter-century. Disruption to existing business models will be widespread, making some less viable, while others realize new opportunities and gain new strength. Competitive pressures will increase as customer spend and mindshare shift to new providers.
To further understand how people will move around in the future, Oliver Wyman surveyed several hundred transportation executives and experts globally and identified a number of trends that are likely to shape passenger transport over the next 25 years. These include the rise of integrated mobility providers, the decline of private cars, the mainstreaming of shared mobility, and increased innovation and competition in passenger transport. The study also examined:
Autonomous vehicles and driverless cars
Development of smart cities, including car sharing and changes in public transportation
Expansion of digital data services to enhance personal transportation
New and emerging business models in passenger mobility
Infrastructure requirements and investment cycle considerations
