Self driving cars might save energy, despite the power hog tech on board. A lot about self driving vehicles remains mired in an uncertain and highly debated future, there is one very important detail about them that seems to be a lot less controversial. That is the assumption that autonomous vehicles will soon be fully electric.
Key Takeaways:
- All-electric hardware has been assumed as the desired powertrain for self-driving vehicles.
- The concentration of sensor and computational technology in self-driving vehicles is abug power drain, and reduces range.
- Redundant technologies are to blame for much of the higher power usage.
