How delays and connecting flights are handled could also change. Under the technology being developed, passengers who miss connecting flights due to delays out of their control could automatically be sent a notification on their phones with details of their new onward flight. Their journey pass would automatically update and they would be allowed to board the new flight.

This is the only part of that whole thing that sounds any good.

there's exactly nothing preventing them from doing that in the current system

This isn't new though, I landed after a long flight last year and had a notification asking me to confirm rebooking to another flight because mine was delayed.

Turns out that no the flight wasn't delayed and luckily I mentioned it when dropping my bag because a person had to sort it out for me and rebooked me back on my original flight that was on time. So now I don't trust the technology at all.

It says "could" not "will", so they will just never implement that part.
