Urban autonomous electric mobility (e-mobility) and electric mass transit are being realized quickly. They are the dire need for populous metropolitan cities. In addition, urban mass transit (buses, subways, and trams), among other modes of urban transportation, are a major challenge facing cities. In several overcrowded cities around the world, existing urban mobility systems are simply inadequate. Harmful emissions, accidents, knotty congestions, and unscheduled operations are just among the critical few issues that are creating transportation chaos worldwide. Autonomous and driverless e-mobility will certainly alleviate such disruptions. These new modes of urban e-mobility will be smart and free of human error. The key ingredient to build a sustainable and efficient autonomous mobility infrastructure will most certainly include electrified transportation. Opportunistic static charging and dynamic, in-motion charging of urban autonomous e-mobility and mass e-transport, powered either by high-energy batteries or high-power ultracapacitors, will be the need of the hour. Novel power electronic conversion systems and innovative coil designs will play a major role in interfacing high-energy/high-power electric storage systems to the charging infrastructure.
