ITS Monday: Edition 12, 2020
This week’s small collection of curated content from the worlds of intelligent transport systems, smart mobility, and associated areas.
Stories on: A new Linkedin group iMOVE has started on the topic of COVID-19 and transport, the demise of a driverless truck startup, new autonomous vehicle rules in the US, and two ITS-related articles from Europe.
I’d also like to say to you all, stay safe, stay well.

COVID-19 & Transport: Responses to the crisis
A new forum iMOVE has added to Linkedin, allowing professionals in the transport industry, plus researchers, start-ups and more to come together and share ideas to implement, or suggestions for future investigation, on how to help transport adapt in this health crisis the world currently finds itself in. We hope you can join us there!
JOIN THE GROUP
The tale of the demise of one of the early movers in the USA in the area of driverless trucks.
‘Like Shackleton on his expedition to Antarctica, we did things no one else ever has. Similarly, though, it didn’t turn out as planned.’

READ THE ARTICLEThe idea behind ITS Monday was in part driven by our ITS Weekly Roundup, an email newsletter we send each Friday (subscribe to that here, plus/or our monthly iMOVE newsletter!). That newsletter contains a substantial number of links, and sometimes I think interesting content could be lost in the mix. I also see quite a lot of interesting content on social media (yes, you can follow us on Linkedin and Twitter). So every week I’ll collect a few things, and put them in ITS Monday.
*Inclusion in ITS Monday does not equal iMOVE endorsement. It’s more aimed at discovery, thought, or discussion … or all of those and more. And while for the most part I expect content to be current, a little age doesn’t mean diminished interest.
