worrying about having accidents or high insurance payments. With driverless vehicles, car accidents will drastically diminish and insurance rates will decrease, meaning they could have a better impact on the economy. Driverless vehicles will benefit society given that they will reduce accidents, can improve traffic flow by enhancing its efficiency, and protect the environment from harmful fuel emissions.     Driverless vehicles, or the self-driving car, is defined as any car with features that allow

the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing”. In this plan, similar control measures were extended to surrounding areas, including Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Shandong. In Tianjin and Hebei, this policy was compulsorily and strictly implemented. However, for Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Shandong, the plan was only implemented if air conditions became extremely serious. Wang et al. (2010b) found that in June 2008, the daily emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NOx), and particulate

Motor vehicle emissions remain the highest source of air pollution in Australian major cities with Sydney holding the record for the worst air quality in Australia. Although Sydney has comparatively better levels of air quality compared to other major cities in the world, air pollution is still a major environmental and health issue. The NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change have put the cost of this issue to human health at more than $4.7 billion each year in the greater metropolitan

The first gasoline powered vehicle was constructed in Germany in 1885. Henry Ford built the first car in the United States in 1896. This is when and how he changed the lives of the American people and their future. Several laws and government restrictions affected the auto industry since the 1960 's. The consumers had numerous concerns to build safer automobiles and safer environments. In 1966, Congress passed a safety act called the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (Gale 2004). This

affect consumer purchase decision of hybrid vehicles (Green Vehicles) in Malaysia. Introduction 1 Background of the Study With the air pollution level rising day by day caused by the emission from conventional vehicles, many government bodies have put in effort to enforce emission control policy since the late of 1960, and it is becoming strict with the EURO committee

Wouldn`t it be pretty cool to do your entire daily driving without ever having to fill up at a gas station? Well, that`s quickly becoming a reality for people who drive electric vehicles, sometimes called EVs. They`re convenient; they`re sleek and quite; they keep our air clean. And for most of the short distance driving we do, they`re the perfect way to get from point A to point B safely, reliably, and comfortably. According to energy.gov “More than 80% of American drives less than 40 miles round

lines that emphasized large vehicles with significant gasoline use and a looming global recession caused a crash in U.S. automaker profitability in 2008. American car manufacturers were struggling to compete against better, more efficiently manufactured products from overseas companies. As of 2015, Toyota earns more than GM, Ford and Chevrolet combined. Lower per-car costs have allowed foreign manufacturers to gain larger portions of the U.S. market. Decades of market control by U.S. manufacturers caused

the last several years, electric vehicles and hybrid electric-gasoline vehicles have been gaining popularity as a more environmentally friendly transportation option. Experts agree that the recent innovations in technology are impressive, but some question the veracity of the statements made about emissions and environmental impact of electric cars and hybrids. Currently, electric vehicles are expensive to produce and create more emissions than gasoline vehicles during the manufacturing process

Environmental Impact of Hybrid Vehicles Today the use of Hybrid vehicles is growing all over the world, these vehicles are supposedly better for the environment, by lowering greenhouse gas emissions. But what if, these vehicles cause more pollution than their standard automotive counterpart? Would you be so inclined to own one? Hybrid Vehicles A Hybrid vehicle is a vehicle that has the ability to operate not only on an internal combustion engine, but also an electrical power source, normally a high
