The cameras installed in the test vehicles use Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) components that Toyota installs on its vehicles globally. In addition, by placing commercially available dashcam drive recorders in Toyota test vehicles, the project will demonstrate automated map generation from a broader range of sources that do not have TSS.

But this goal cannot be achieved with efficiency measures and a modern fleet alone. A global knowledge base is needed if we are to develop common standards. Some of the alternative fuels available today can already help significantly reduce emissions with minor or no modifications to engines and infrastructures.

The authors used technology warming potentials (TWPs) rather than global warming potentials (GWPs) to compare the cumulative radiative forcing created by alternative technologies fueled by natural gas and oil or coal. This would eventually be offset by a modest benefit. CNG vehicles fare even worse in comparison to heavy-duty diesel vehicles.

All we really need in addition to fleets of new paradigm vehicles are additional solar and wind generation sources. Today’s electric grid was designed by Nicolas Tesla and Thomas Edison with help from Westinghouse and General Electric some 100 years ago. In addition, we need no more biofuel than what is currently in production now.

Most charge points available today take much longer to re-energize batteries than it does to fill a gas-powered cars tank. Perhaps more importantly, quickly "pouring" electricity into many of the batteries available today may stress the very expensive component and shorten their useful lifetime.
