“Advancements in AI, and Machine Learning (ML)”
- AI and ML are being integrated into transportation systems to enhance operational efficiency. These technologies enable predictive maintenance, optimize traffic management, and improve system reliability by analyzing vast datasets to identify patterns and predict congestion.
- The integration of smart grids with transportation systems allows for efficient energy distribution, especially for electric vehicles (EVs). Smart grids support bidirectional energy flow, enabling vehicles to not only consume but also supply energy back to the grid, enhancing overall energy efficiency.
For instance, In May 2025, Uber partnered with May Mobility to deploy thousands of autonomous vehicles across U.S. cities, starting with Arlington, Texas. These vehicles, initially equipped with safety drivers, aim to transition to full autonomy. May Mobility, backed by Toyota and BMW, also collaborates with Lyft for autonomous services in Atlanta.
- Governments are promoting sustainable transportation, electric vehicles (EVs), and data-driven traffic management systems through funding, regulations, and partnerships with tech firms.

“Rising Demand of Urbanization & Smart Cities Development”
- Rapid adoption of digital technologies such as AI, IoT, cloud computing, and 5G is transforming industries across NA.
- Massive urban migration is driving the need for sustainable and efficient city planning using smart technologies.
- For instance, In 2025 Siemens launched an upgraded intelligent traffic management system featuring machine learning capabilities to predict traffic patterns and adjust signals in real-time, reducing congestion by 20%.
- Japan's Tier IV has initiated projects to develop self-driving electric taxis, aiming to address driver shortages and enhance urban mobility. These initiatives are supported by government policies promoting smart transportation solutions.
