More cities are testing autonomous public transportation solutions
Trend - More cities and institutions are open to the idea of autonomous public transport, and are testing or implementing autonomous transportation solutions in both small and large-scale ways. Everything from buses to transportation "pods" are being rolled out in different regions.
Insight - As governments and people become more comfortable with the idea of autonomous transport, they're increasingly seeing its benefits for city planning purposes. Things like ensuring pedestrian safety and accident-reduction are crucial in effective urban design, and autonomous transport is a step towards those goals.

Trend Themes
1. Autonomous Public Transportation - As more cities and institutions test or implement autonomous transportation solutions, opportunities for autonomous public transportation such as pods and buses are emerging.
2. Autonomous Delivery Services - With autonomous technology, delivery services to seniors or goods delivery can be done with ease and can potentially transform the logistics industry.
3. Advanced Autonomous Vehicles - The rise of advanced autonomous vehicles such as tractors and cars that use deep neural networks and cameras for obstacle detection is changing the way industries such as agriculture and transportation operate.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation - The transportation industry is being disrupted with new autonomous technology, and the rise of autonomous public transportation and delivery services pave the way for new business models in the industry.
2. Logistics - The logistics industry can benefit from autonomous delivery services, enhancing efficiency and reducing the need for human-to-human contact to slow the spread of viruses.
3. Agriculture - The use of advanced autonomous vehicles in agriculture can improve efficiency and help feed a growing population in the future.
