The automotive industry appears close to substantial change engendered by “self-driving” technologies. This technology offers the possibility of significant benefits to social welfare—saving lives; reducing crashes, congestion, fuel consumption, and pollution; increasing mobility for the disabled; and ultimately improving land use. This report is intended as a guide for state and federal policymakers on the many issues that this technology raises.
V.P. Al Gore and senior Clinton Admin. officials met with more than 1,300 industry, environmental, and government leaders from around the U.S. on Dec. 11-13, 1994, to discuss ways to promote economic growth and job creation while preserving the environment. The goal of the conference was to lay the groundwork for developing a national strategy for deploying a new generation of advanced environmental technologies -- technologies with potential to improve U.S. economic competitiveness and position U.S. industry for world leadership in international markets, while at the same time providing for more effective and sustainable environmental protection.
The FreedomCAR and Fuel Partnership is a collaborative effort among the Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Council for Automotive Research (USCAR), and five major energy companies to manage research that will enable the vision of "a clean and sustainable transportation energy future." It envisions a transition from more efficient internal combustion engines (ICEs), to advanced ICE hybrid electric vehicles, to enabling a private-sector decision by 2015 on hydrogen-fueled vehicle development. This report, which builds on an earlier NRC report, The Hydrogen Economy: Opportunities, Costs, Barriers, and R&D Needs, presents an evaluation of the Partnership's research efforts on hydrogen-fueled transportation systems, and provides findings and recommendations about technical directions, strategies, funding, and management.
