How do you see the future of the connected rail industry?
In the future, all modes of transportation will be connected.
For example, commuters may have one route that includes autonomous cars as well as trains and airplanes.
There will be synchronization between all modes of transportation both within country limits and between countries as well.
In Europe, trains are already fully connected with complex cross-country networks.
In the future, we will see even more connectivity.
There will be an increasing level of technologies that improve passenger experience.
Trains will be safer, more comfortable and enjoyable, and more efficient, thanks to computers and connectivity.
