Australian Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Case Study

When the Future of Movement Met the People Who Build It

At the Australian Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Summit 2015, Morris was invited to headline the conference dinner—bringing bold foresight to a room of 300 industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and global transport innovators. With no slides and no distractions, just the voice of a futurist in full flight, Morris delivered a smart transport systems keynote that provoked the audience to rethink their assumptions about mobility, infrastructure, and what it means to build systems for humans, not just vehicles. He wove together future cities, space elevators, autonomous corridors, the Musk hyperloop, Shenzhen’s electric fleets, and the philosophy of transport as destiny. The evening went long. So did the conversations after.

Shift: From connected transport projects to intelligent, ethical, and human-centric systems design.

The result?: A defining keynote moment that reframed the industry’s understanding of mobility futures and helped ITS leaders see themselves not just as engineers—but as stewards of human movement.
