When Machines Take Control: The Journey Toward Autonomous Mobility
Autonomous mobility extends far beyond the idea of a self-driving passenger car. Automated systems are being developed for trucks, trains, ships, drones and specialised transport applications, each operating within different environments and safety requirements. This edition examines the technologies enabling machines to navigate and make movement decisions, including sensors, cameras, radar, positioning and artificial intelligence. It explores the technical, operational and safety challenges that must be addressed as automation assumes a greater role across transportation.
Editor's Note
Autonomy is not a single destination shared equally by every mode of transportation. A train on a controlled route faces very different challenges from a car on a public road or a vessel at sea. This edition examines autonomous mobility through those differences, focusing on the technologies that enable machines to perceive and navigate while recognising the importance of safety, regulation and human oversight as automation advances.
