Regulating transport goes after several objectives such as safety, for the passengers of the vehicle, for the driver and for the other users, social welfare, and social inclusion. Socio-economic objectives are to ensure fair competition between the various providers of transport services, privacy, accessibility, etc. Then comes mitigating the externalities produced by transport such as pollution and congestions. The report provides an overview and analysis of various economic, political and social variables influencing policies and governance of mobility sector, evidencing barriers and challenges when introducing emerging technologies.
