In this volume, Andreas Herrmann and Johann Jungwirth powerfully illustrate that mobility is a fundamental human right that can best be fulfilled with new autonomous vehicle development and use, showcasing how these forms of mobility will improve accessibility for the disabled, aid protection for the environment and to open how we design our cities in completely new ways.

Reviews

Mobility-as-a-Service can make a decisive contribution to improving the traffic situation in many megacities. MaaS concepts are already being tested in numerous Chinese cities. We are on the threshold of implementation. This book vividly illustrates the idea, concepts and implications around Mobility-as-a-Service, making an important contribution to better mobility - for cities, for people, for the environment.

Mobility-as-a-Service is an opportunity to completely rethink our cities. Roads and parking lots can be repurposed or deconstructed and used for living spaces, playgrounds or denser mixed-use development and affordable housing. This book describes numerous approaches so that in the future we build our cities around people and not cars. -- Gabe Klein, Founding Partner of Cityfi, Venture Partner at Fontinalis Partners, and former Commissioner of the Chicago and Washington DC Departments of Transportation.
