Background. Over half of the world's population lives in urbanized areas, cities emit over 75 % of global greenhouse gases [1]. One of the sources of pollution is transport. Therefore, striving for the development of sustainable transport systems in cities is crucial. Observing global trends in mobility allows noting the development of economy, automation and electrification of the automobile. These tendencies seem to have enormous potential to improve the functioning of transport systems and to maximize economic and environmental effects. Therefore, the aim of this article is to identify the benefits of using low-carbon autonomous vehicles, to spread the sharing mobility and to identify possible development scenarios in this area.Method. The article is theoretical in nature and is based on a literature review.Result. Automation of vehicles, their electrification and sharing mobility offer numerous opportunities to improve the functioning of transport systems in urban areas. The integration of these technologies is becoming more and more popular. However, it is not entirely sure whether these modern concepts will revolutionize ways of moving within the city, or will only result in changes in individual mobility.
