Why autonomous electric vehicles will be an important step towards a sustainable future - Erasmus Energy Forum

There are big discussions in the automotive industry right now, about whether autonomous electric vehicles – yes, the ones that can drive themselves – will come to dominate transportation, personal and public, in the next few years. But it is completely foreseeable, in my opinion. The future of transportation is the electric vehicle (EV) because of sustainability; it can be powered by wind and sun, requiring only 1/3 of the energy of a vehicle with a combustion engine. Looking ahead to 2020, there will be many more EVs. Looking further to 2030, we will see major advancements in the area of autonomous driving.
