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

Those objections added to the concerns environmentalists were raising about the ozone layer—a scenario seemingly justified a few years later by MIT researchers, who concluded that a future fleet of 500 supersonic airliners would deplete the ozone layer by 16 percent. Clearly, nobody would accept stone-fracturing sonic booms.

I think that, along with similar efforts by consultancies like the Rhodium Group and Energy Innovation , we provided important real-time information for stakeholders inside and outside the negotiations as to what its likely impact would be and whether it was strong enough. So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D.,

The answer depends in part on whether such cars require a type of sensor called lidar, short for “light detection and ranging.” The mechanical complexity and high cost of most lidar sensors—which not long ago would have added tens of thousands of dollars to the price of each vehicle—no doubt helped shaped Musk’s views.
