MIT analysis finds current EVs could replace ~90% of personal vehicles now on the road based on driver’s energy consumption

Green Car Congress

A study by a team at MIT has concluded that roughly 90% of the personal vehicles on the road in the US could be replaced by an electric vehicle available on the market today, even if the cars can only charge overnight. Together, the two datasets encompass millions of trips made by drivers all around the country. —Jessika Trancik.

Can Deepfake Tech Train Computer Vision AIs?

Cars That Think

In their paper presented at the 2022 International Conference on Learning Representations , the MIT researchers asked whether, “given access only to a trained generative model, and no access to the dataset that trained it, can we learn effective visual representations?” Synthetic data is useful to simulate conditions that may not (yet) exist.

Stretchable Batteries Make Flexible Electronics More So

Cars That Think

Researchers believe the concept will become more valuable in the next decade, as electronic devices migrate closer and closer to human skin. Gatorade, for example, now markets a skin patch called the Gx Sweat Patch , which helps tracks personal hydration. A battery that only flexes would feel uncomfortable to wear.”
