ORNL researchers use stop-light cameras to reduce fuel consumption of less-efficient vehicles via traffic management

Green Car Congress

Karnowski recalled a vehicle-image project by Stanford University researcher Timnit Gebru that identified 22 million cars from Google Street View images, classifying them into more than 2,600 categories (such as make and model) and then correlating them with demographic data. So, where to find a larger, fine-grained vehicle dataset?

The reason for this is that electric motors are much simpler than internal combustion engines. In comparison, traditional combustion engines take longer to get engine-generated power to the wheels and might need to rev up in order to reach maximum torque. Is our grid ready for a full transition to EVs?
