The second innovation will decarbonize vehicle fuel and improve fuel efficiency of vehicles. These vehicles are known as semi-autonomous vehicles. Some of the technologies that can substitute certain functions of a driver such as lane keeping, collision avoidance and parking, are already available in the market and used by new luxury cars. Driverless vehicles, known as autonomous vehicles (AVs), are undergoing trial tests in many countries. The first innovation will make a car driverless by allowing robots to fully take over a driver’s chores or partially automate under a driver’s control. Broadly, the ongoing innovations are focusing on three key dimensions of vehicle technologies and their use. But the coming years is likely to bring radical changes in motorized vehicles and their use with significant impact on our mobility choices and governing legal and social norms (RAND Corporation, 2014). The first car which rolled out 111 years back has incrementally undergone changes in terms of both increased comfort and safety. Cities, the hubs of human interactions and exchanges of goods and services, have prospered with the adoption of faster, cleaner and safer modes, and the provision of supporting infrastructure and services.
Over the past century human ingenuity has radically transformed our mobility choices with the advent of modes powered by fossil fuels.
