Abstract: 
Energy and transportation are the two largest contributors to carbon emissions globally. The study examines Digitalization and critical infrastructure: The Role of Information Technology in Energy and Autonomous Transportation. Using a mixed–methods approach 20 questionnaires were distributed to 20 energy and autonomous transportation companies to complete the survey. Collected data were subjected to analysis. The result shows disparity on the 4 Likert scale result obtained. Majority of the respondents strongly agreed (50%) that IoT and AI are crucial to the future of energy/ transportation development. Majority of the respondents (50%) also agreed that automation in the transportation industry has brought about enhancement. Conclusively, Digitalization in energy and autonomous transportation offers lots of benefits: an enhancement of road safety, the alleviation of traffic congestion, transportation enhancement and the optimization of urban mobility, ultimately culminating in an improved standard of living for urban inhabitants.
