The Future of Fuel Efficiency: Networked Cars, Talking to Other Cars
“If we really wanted to cut down on carbon emissions during our commute, instead of hopping into our cars every morning, we’d bite the bullet, and take the bus. But because we’re pretty attached to our own cars (and America’s public transit infrastructure, you know, sucks) researchers are working on ways to cut down on wasted energy beyond solutions like “take the bus.” One way to do that? Let cars talk to each other.
This idea comes out of recent research from the University of Michigan and California Institute of Technology. In particular, an autonomous vehicle that was controlling its speed based on the speeds of multiple surrounding cars was twenty percent more energy-efficient than it was without those networks…”
