Additionally, the future of transportation is intrinsically linked to the concept of smart cities. As urban areas grapple with growing populations and infrastructure challenges, smart city initiatives leverage technology to create intelligent transportation systems. These systems incorporate real-time data, smart traffic management, and autonomous vehicles to create efficient, safe, and sustainable transportation networks. Looking ahead, we can anticipate the continued integration of AI and IoT in transportation, paving the way for autonomous vehicles. While fully autonomous vehicles are still in the development stage, significant strides have been made in areas such as driver-assist technologies and semi-autonomous vehicles. The future holds the promise of safer roads, enhanced mobility for all, and a paradigm shift in the way we perceive transportation.
