Chapter 13: Autonomous and Connected Electric Vehicles
Abstract : Autonomous and Connected Electric Vehicles (ACEVs or CASE vehicles: Connected, Autonomous, Electric, Shared) merge self-driving AI with electric power and constant data exchange (V2X) for safer, greener, more efficient transport, reducing emissions, optimizing traffic, and offering new shared mobility models , though high costs and complex tech integration remain challenges, say futuremobilitymedia.events , i GET IT by Tata Technologies , NobleProg Nepal, GovTech , SWITCH - Street WITCHer . These vehicles use sensors and networks to "see" and communicate, making driving decisions without human input for better urban mobility and sustainability. Key Components & How They Work Autonomous (Self-Driving): AI and sensors (cameras, lidar, radar) perceive the environment, enabling the car to navigate, steer, brake, and accelerate without human intervention, progressing through levels of automation. Connected (V2X...
