Open R&D · transport · 6 open problems · substrate contribution paths
Open problems in transport R&D where multi-billion-dollar programmes have not closed the structural gap. From L5 urban autonomy long-tail edge cases to electric aviation range to high-speed rail cost halving, each row names the barrier + substrate path. Average time-to-impact for substrate contributions: 44 months.

Open-problem ledger · substrate-contribution pathways · Each row names a structurally unsolved R&D problem, the reason the conventional industry has not closed it, and the substrate contribution path the BRMSTE substrate offers. Substrate modes: physics-decomposer · sieve-inference · cross-civilizational-historical-anchor · agentic-routing · three-body-failure-audit. See /legal/liability.
| # | Open problem | Why unsolved | R&D ($M) | Substrate contribution | T-to-impact (mo) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | L5 autonomy in dense urban (pedestrian unpredictability) autonomous-driving-edge-case | long-tail edge cases dominate · current systems certify <95% on urban | 2,000 | agentic three-body audit (perception × planning × control residue) + edge-case routing | 42 |
| 02 | Electric aviation at 1000 km range (eVTOL or regional) electric-aviation-1000km-range | battery energy density caps at ~300 Wh/kg · regional jet replacement needs ~600 Wh/kg | 800 | physics decomposer on battery × propulsion × aero × weight × charging tensor | 48 |
| 03 | Hydrogen aviation cost parity with jet-A hydrogen-aviation-cost-parity | H2 storage + infrastructure each 2-3x conventional · regulatory framework partial | 500 | three-body audit (fuel cost × storage × infrastructure × certification residue) | 60 |
| 04 | High-speed rail construction cost halving (<$30M/km) high-speed-rail-cost-halving | tunneling + station + signaling each 2-3x cost variance across geographies | 200 | cross-civilizational anchor (rail construction history + Hanseatic + Shinkansen) + agentic cost-driver routing | 36 |
| 05 | Crewless transoceanic shipping autonomous-shipping-port-to-port | weather routing + collision avoidance + cargo integrity over weeks-long voyages | 400 | agentic routing + three-body audit (weather × collision × cargo-integrity residue) | 48 |
| 06 | Urban air mobility ATC at city scale (100s of vehicles) urban-air-mobility-atc | current ATC unable to handle drone density · separation requirements unclear | 300 | agentic ATC routing + three-body audit (trajectory × weather × failure-mode residue) | 30 |
