To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Notes that the speed of the revolution in transport technology challenges
current planning assumptions and requires a major re-think in public policy and
design.
2.
Believes that transport manufacturers and their supply chains will need to
adapt or die as the combustion engine is phased out within the next 20 years
because of:
a)
driverless vehicles, which will disrupt assumptions about private ownership of
cars, urban town planning, managing road congestion and the role of buses to
connect communities; and
b)
electric vehicles, which require a more dispersed electricity generation and
supply including charging points covering the whole of Wales;
3.
Calls on the Welsh Government to outline the steps that it is taking to align
policies with the pace of change and ensure all citizens will benefit, in line
with the Well-Being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
'Well-being
of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015'
