Bollards and rubber curbs that prevent drivers from cutting across intersections at a diagonal can make streets safer for pedestrians, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Such “centerline hardening” forces drivers to turn more slowly at close to a right angle by blocking the diagonal path through the crosswalk.

A new proposal aims to take hydrogen fuel cells from land to the ocean, using massive fuel-cell systems to power ships. Swiss firm ABB has signed a memorandum of understanding with Hydrogène de France (HDF) to develop a "megawatt-scale" power source for large vessels. The maritime system will be based on a stationary power plant developed.

Plug-in hybrids let you go mostly electric on the commute while also saving fuel—and gas money—en route to weekend destinations, without the charging infrastructure worries of a fully electric vehicle. Be forewarned, though: For those who consider an ultra-luxury brand like Bentley, those sensibilities go (mostly) out the window. And.

What if, instead of switching to batteries or fuel cells to reduce emissions, you could keep internal-combustion engines and simply put a different fuel in the tank? That's what McLaren COO Jens Ludmann is advocating for—or at least suggesting—as an alternative to electric cars. McLaren plans to build a test car that will run on.
EV Driven brings together the best content on electric vehicles from the widest variety of industry thought leaders.

McLaren is optimistic about internal combustion—perhaps without the fossil-fuels part of the equation. The biggest ships—including, perhaps, cruise ships, eventually—could go fuel-cell with a new partnership. Karma shows a new van concept. And Bentley isn’t making a convincing argument for plug-in hybrids. Or is it? This.

ARPA-E announced up to $38 million in funding for a new program—Submarine Hydrokinetic And Riverine Kilo-megawatt Systems (SHARKS)—to design economically attractive Hydrokinetic Turbines (HKT) for tidal and riverine currents. ( DE-FOA-0002334 ). Tidal and riverine energy resources are renewable, have the advantage of being highly reliable and predictable, and are often co-located with demand centers, while HKT devices can be designed with low visual profiles and minimal environmental
