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. This is an issue where common sense can lead to strongly opposing views.

Is there a better way for scientists to shine a light on nerve cells throughout the body? When researchers Xinyue Liu and Siyuan Rao first began their collaboration at MIT, they treated this question literally. said Rao, a neuroscientist now at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Our body is also made of hydrogels.

MIT and Princeton researchers leverage smartphone cameras for collaborative traffic signal schedule advisory system; tests show 20% cut in fuel consumption

Green Car Congress

In July, at the Association for Computing Machinery’s MobiSys conference, researchers from MIT and Princeton University took the best-paper award for a system that uses a network of smartphones mounted on car dashboards to collect information about traffic signals and to then tell drivers when slowing down could help them avoid waiting at lights.
