Technology has always been the catalyst that has driven the evolution of cities. Building design, transportation, infrastructure, energy usage and connectivity are undergoing massive changes that affect how we live, work and play in our urban landscape. Beyond passenger cars, the adoption of autonomous taxis, trucks and delivery vehicles could ultimately have the greatest impact on reducing congestion.
