“ Data can be leveraged to forge an overarching mobility system in which e-mobility plays a central role ”
CARLO RATTI PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE OF URBAN TECHNOLOGIES AND PLANNING , MIT
According to some studies , autonomous vehicles have the potential to improve fuel efficiency by up to 20 %, which is a result of smoother operation and optimal speeds for the journey . From an EV perspective , AV technologies help drivers make their most of their energy and inform them when it really is time to charge .
Enabling shared mobility and sustainable urban planning Looking at the EV landscape with a broader lens means city planners will consider electrified and autonomous vehicles in their endeavours . With the introduction of shared mobility , regulations and demand are likely to shift towards more publicly available means of transport , which will reshape the way people navigate cities .
Understanding the routes that AVs take and how they interact with their environments could drive strategies and plans for charging locations , thus optimising the routes for autonomous taxis and the energy consumption of such services .
“ Self-driving cars can promote car- and ride-sharing , hence changing urban mobility ,” says Ratti . “ Also , they can have a major effect on urban infrastructure .
