Approximately 6 billion gallons of fuel are wasted in the US each year as vehicles wait at stop lights or sit in dense traffic with engines idling, according to US Department of Energy estimates. The team’s first step in February 2018 was to use GRIDSMART cameras to create an image dataset of vehicle classes.

The emissions further drop to ~70% if we consider 2G ethanol which is produced using farm waste. Ethanol production from farm waste such as corn cob, rice husk, wheat straw and sugarcane bagasse, is known as second generation ethanol (2G). 3G is still in early stages of commercial deployment while 4G is still at a concept stage.

Audi introduced its flagship electric SUV e-tron in 2018. For the new Audi Q8 e-tron, the asynchronous motor concept on the rear axle was modified. With the e-tron range’s S model, Audi used a three-motor concept for the first time in large-scale production. This lowers consumption and increases range.
