Realizing that less attention has been paid to the potential footprint of autonomous vehicles, the MIT researchers built a statistical model to study the problem. But if we get ahead of it, we could design more efficient autonomous vehicles that have a smaller carbon footprint from the start. —first author Soumya Sudhakar.

Most existing lane-change algorithms for autonomous cars have one of two drawbacks: Either they rely on detailed statistical models of the driving environment, which are difficult to assemble and too complex to analyze on the fly; or they’re so simple that they can lead to impractically conservative decisions, such as never changing lanes at all.

Researchers at MIT are devising algorithms for more accurately estimating driver behavior at road intersections—i.e., Inferring driver intentions has been the subject of extensive research.More specifically, the modeling of behavior at intersections has been studied using different statistical models.

A study by a team from the University of Cambridge (UK) and MIT attributes ~8,000 premature mortalities per year to aircraft cruise emissions. We recommend that cruise emissions be explicitly considered in the development of policies, technologies and operational procedures designed to mitigate the air quality impacts of air transportation.
