Less is More: Climate Change and Automated Vehicles in Urban Areas Presented at the workshop "Should I Stay or Should I Go? Automated Vehicles in the Age of Climate Change", April 25, 2020, Honolulu, HI, USA. Copyright held by the owner/author(s). (bib) |
We present our vision on how to mitigate anthropogenic climate change in the context of (automated) vehicles. We therefore analyze current challenges of privately owned cars and suggest a novel way to assess vehicle sustainability. Furthermore, four considerations indicate how technology, legal regulations and stakeholders in the area of urban mobility could overcome the trade-off between benefits of current traffic and sustainable, climate-friendly future means of transportation. With our ideas we aim to spark discussions within the research community, while acknowledging that they are partially far away from being implemented soon within urban environments. |
