London Assembly Future Transport – due 2 October 2017 (https://www.london.gov.uk/current-investigations/future-transport)

The most prominent technological developments are those that could change the way people use London’s roads, or change the street environment in London generally. We consider these to be new car technology, particularly autonomous vehicles, and app-enabled mobility services. In addition we will consider drone and droid technology, as these have the potential to disrupt the delivery sector, which is a significant contributor to congestion.
