So, it is not surprising that fiscally strapped developing economies find it harder to build public transport in their ever-congested cities. A recent report, “Rethinking Transportation 2020-2030” (goo.gl/wCgz3r) envisages huge and historic disruption in transportation in the coming decade. As regulatory approvals for electric autonomous vehicles are put in place, the report says that 95% of passenger miles in the US will be driven by on-demand autonomous electric vehicles. India will also soon roll out an ambitious national policy for electric vehicles. Imagine your office lot filled with electric vehicles getting their batteries charged with noontime solar power in the open-sky parking lot!
