A 2010 NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) analysis concluded that V2V systems potentially could address 79% of all vehicle target crashes, 81% of all light-vehicle target crashes, and 71% of all heavy-truck target crashes annually. In general the passenger vehicle industry is also exceedingly cost conscious.As

The report includes a consumer pocketbook analysis, which finds that for consumers purchasing 60 mpg cars and trucks the value of the gas savings will be greater than the increased cost of the loan. The Energy Information Administration’s projected price of gasoline for 2025 of $3.50 (in 2010 dollars) is used. Earlier post.).

Researchers at MIT have produced the first assessment of the annual costs of IQ losses from aircraft lead emissions in the US. Here, we estimate the costs of leaded aviation fuel on society through IQ-related impacts of aviation lead emissions across the United States. billion (the mean from a range of $0.01–$11.6 6b02910.

Propane is a cleaner burning fossil fuel, yielding 87% less hydrocarbons and 50% fewer toxins than gasoline, and is more economical compared to petroleum-based options, roughly 40 to 50% less than gasoline/diesel per gallon, although less attractive on a cost per energy equivalent basis due to its lower energy content. Renewable propane.

The Obama Administration’s 2010 Department of Energy budget put forward a cut in the federal hydrogen fuel cell research and deployment by more than two thirds ($130million). Fuel cell vehicles are expected to be cost competitive with other advanced technologies and are approaching the cost of advanced hybrids even with current designs.

If you ask a bunch of experts to predict the cost of a technology 10 years from now, they’re all over the map—9 out of 10 are wrong, and you don’t know which one is right. So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D., There’s just so much that is contingent and unknowable. I and Nestor Sepulveda , who was also a Ph.D.

Based on the interim results of a new study, MIT researchers are warning smaller nations to proceed with caution in pursuing the development of their natural gas resources. The cost for these smaller nations makes up a larger portion of their economies, so before spending the money, they need to have the proper expectations.

In 2010, Henry Evans saw a robot on TV. at MIT under Rodney Brooks. And with a commercial price of US $20,000, Stretch is a tiny fraction of the cost of a PR2. For most of the people watching that day, the PR2 was little more than a novelty. But for Evans, the robot had the potential to be life changing.

Average on-road fuel consumptions (tank to wheels) of the different propulsion systems in an average light-duty vehicle: 2010, 2030, and 2050. However, the flexibility and lower costs of PHEVs appear to trump this simplicity, certainly in the nearer term. Includes vehicle weight reduction: at constant acceleration capability.

GM has announced plans for public sales in 2010, and almost every carmaker now says it will sell PHEVs or highway-speed battery electric vehicles (BEVs) sometime after 2010. Committed to sales of 10,000 or more vehicles in late 2010, with increasing production in 2011. Aims to get Saturn Vue on road in 2010; no production goal.

It is simply the cost of doing business.
