EDITORIAL This week in Dublin I attended an interesting event on AI and its myths. Several uses of AI were described with their pros and cons, and wise advices were given about being excited with using AI tools
while being wary of potential problems they could generate. It seems as now "AI" is the buzzword in any field. |

CoMoUK is the national organisation for shared transport, a charity for promoting its social, economic and environmental benefits. Shared transport means schemes such as car clubs and bike share where people can use
a mode of transport without having to own it. They work collaboratively with national, regional, transport and local authorities as well as the private sector to further these public benefits. They do this via research, operator accreditation, stakeholder engagement, policy work and advocacy. |
"Landlocked to Landlinked":
UN summit seeks to turn geography into
opportunity For the world’s landlocked developing countries (LLDCs), geography isn’t just a challenge, it’s a costly barrier to trade. Cut off from direct access to the sea,
these nations face steep transport costs, sluggish delivery times, and a maze of border procedures that slow down economic progress. And increasingly, climate change is compounding the problem – damaging roads, disrupting supply chains, and threatening already fragile infrastructure with floods, droughts, and extreme weather.
UK e-bike uptake lowest in Europe, report states New analysis has shown that the UK has the second-lowest electric bike uptake in Europe, according to new rankings, with the government urged to do

people the UK has the second-lowest electric bike uptake in Europe compared to its population, ahead of only Belarus.

How AI’s Sense of Time will differ from ours
An understanding of the passage of time is fundamental to human consciousness. While we continue to debate whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can
possess consciousness, one thing is certain: AI will experience time differently. Its sense of time will be dictated not by biology, but by its computational, sensory, and communication processes. How will we coexist with an alien intelligence that perceives and acts in a very different temporal world? Changes to London’s Congestion Charge to cost car clubs over £1 million per year Collaborative Mobility UK (CoMoUK) said the proposals from Transport for London (TfL) of increasing the London’s Congestion Charge could force car
clubs to increase costs for customers, reduce fleet sizes, cut the high number of EVs they run, and threaten the sector’s future in the capital. is calling for vehicles in the schemes to be treated differently from privately owned ones, given that they have been proven to cut the overall number of cars on the road,... |
