While the market for electric cars continues to grow, manufacturers of such vehicles still face some challenges. These mainly revolve around the issues of charging and range – the industry is increasingly relying on solar power to meet these challenges.
According to some experts, autonomous car travel will become standard in some time. To make this a reality, however, it is necessary to prepare the most effective safety features possible. What are the risks of using self-driving cars and how can they be addressed?
Passenger and freight transport is estimated to account for 20% of Europe’s total CO2 emissions, which is why the European Union continues to set new limits on the sector’s emissions. For example, the current regulation provides for a further 15% reduction in CO2 emissions for all vehicles by 2025.
The Euro 7 standard is one of the most anticipated legislations in the automotive industry. It has long been controversial because of its very stringent vehicle emission limits, which for the first time take into account, for example, dusting during brake pad abrasion. For internal combustion cars, it could mean an even faster recall.
Just a few years ago, it was predicted that we would all be passengers in autonomous cars by 2022. Before this can happen, many technical and legal issues still need to be resolved. Research related to these technologies has been slowed by the economic crisis caused by coronavirus; however, paradoxically the epidemic has also had a positive effect on the autonomous vehicle sector.
