What does the future hold for the transport industry?

We have no language for tomorrow’s technology. Where there is no language, there can be no complex thought. That makes it very difficult to consider new concepts when they first arrive, and to communicate with each other across silos of specialisms. For example, the train was named an iron horse. It takes time to develop this vocabulary.

How can we predict what the future holds for the transport industry and make steps towards positive change?
