The mobility sector has been targeted as one of the focus sectors of Japan’s green transformation (GX) and digital transformation (DX). On one hand, it means that all mobility needs GX such as electrification, but also to reduce the need for transport, via virtual or online presence. Additionally, increasing urbanisation still asks for more effective transport modes as well as for more varieties of transportation. There are R&D efforts such as the hyperloop and flying cars. Autonomous driving is another strategic R&D topic for Japan as it should be the solution for the society struggling with aging and population decline. This technology requires also further development, as well as technology standardisation and alignment with soft aspects such as useability, ethical, legal and social acceptance.
