HOW CAN WE MAKE CARS MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT?

If you ask The Delft University of Technology student engineers behind the Ecorunner V, they’d say that reducing drag is a big part of the answer. Theirs is the most aerodynamic car ever, with a record-breaking drag coefficient of 0.0512. 
By comparison, most production cars are about six times less aerodynamic. The Ford Focus ST has a drag coefficient of 0.3, while the Volkswagen Golf comes in at 0.27.

However, rather than the handset curving gently at the top and bottom or on the sides of the display, these one has extreme curvature that looks as though it would affect portability and would snag in pockets or bags.

The Future of Driverless Vehicles (Roundtable)

Jeffrey Miller, IEEE member and associate professor of engineering practice at the University of Southern California, contributed this article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

Three years ago, Nissan was the first car manufacturer to announce they would have driverless vehicles ready for consumer adoption by the year 2020. While consumers, and even some experts in the field, noted that this was an aggressive
