8 Exploratory topic 1 FrEight -- impacts on pEoplE Timothy Papandreou and Barbara Lenz This exploratory topic focused on both long-haul goods transport and urban or regional delivery. The fundamentally different situation for long-haul and urban delivery represents a particularly complex challenge when designing a "world of road automation." Lenz and Papandreou described the overall impacts on the freight sector of Scenario 1: Automated Vehicles Taking Over Transport Business, which entails a quick adoption of automation and the upgrading of road infrastructure, with most logistic providers relying on automated truck fleets and the automation of supply chains.

An additional hurdle toward serving disadvantaged populations is the reduction in public transit services that can be expected from the full reliance on CAVs.

Some reserved areas for pedestrians and microvehicles have been established in many cities, although retail activities have shrunk dramatically as on-line shopping is the norm.

They noted that the rise of telework is expected to bring social benefits as flexibility in working time increases, but that the risks of interference with one's private life may also be enhanced, thereby affecting work–life balance and, ultimately, productivity.
