Abstract

AV and CAV technologies are already affecting on-road energy usage and in the future may drastically change vehicle energy usage and efficiency. The Efficiency Town Hall, at ARTS2021 showed the importance of the question of how to balance individual vehicle efficiency with systemic transportation efficiency as well traffic and demand management. The Town Hall also showed that these questions can no longer be considered a problem for the future, solutions must be found for the vehicles entering the market now. Connectivity will also be key in ensuring that AV technology delivers consistent energy reductions. Finally, regulations which can capture the effects of CAVs and incentivize energy efficiency must be promulgated to ensure that AVs are designed with efficiency and energy reduction in mind.
