The new cooling concept also significantly increases the power density and efficiency of the motor compared to the state-of-the-art.

With no need to park, autonomous vehicles (AVs) will clog city streets and slow traffic to a crawl, according to a new paper by University of Santa Cruz transportation planner Adam Millard-Ball, an associate professor of environmental studies.
