The Machine Economy - transport is next

I think the integration of AI & automation into the transport ecommerce process is about to gain significant momentum.  

Currently there's several rail journey planning projects at a decent technology level (TRL6 and above). So the next logical step is to enable a machine user (not a human user) to complete the entire online transaction process autonomously and at scale.

Sure there's a few hoops to jump through. But these aren't really technical, they are mainly trust and consent based. E.g. how is a Customer going to safely give permission to an AI to use their online account and their payment details?
