Study Predicts Electric RoboCabs Will Reduce Emissions by 94 Percent

According to a study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, autonomous electric taxis could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from car travel in the US.
Their predictions state a 94% reduction is emissions is possible by 2030.
These future “robocabs” would be driven without human intervention, picking up and dropping off passengers using automated technologies.
Though emissions would not be eliminated, as running the vehicles from an electrical grid would still incur the burning of fossil fuels at power plants, the impact can still be great.
The study took into account that by 2030 expected developments in renewable power technologies will lead to cleaner energy production at the plant.
