Electric and Autonomous Vehicles in Transportation CASE STUDY
This case study explores the integration of electric and autonomous vehicles in transportation using the fictional city of Greenville as an example. Greenville adopted electric vehicles, integrated autonomous shuttles, and saw reduced emissions and costs as a result. However, it also faced infrastructure challenges. The case study discusses opportunities like environmental and economic benefits, as well as challenges such as high costs and regulatory uncertainty. It reviews literature on the environmental, economic, and societal impacts of electric and autonomous vehicles and envisions their potential to make transportation more sustainable, efficient, and safe.

Electric and Autonomous
Vehicles in Transportation CASE STUDY
SUBMITTED BY: Ananya Kapil
UID : 22BCS16219 CONTENTS INTRODUCTION OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES LITERATURE REVIEW OBJECTIVE, HYPOTHESIS, METHODOLOGY REFERENCES AND CITATIONS INTRODUCTION
•Autonomous electric vehicles (A-VE) are self-driving
vehicles powered by electricity rather than gasoline. These vehicles use sensors and computer vision to navigate. A-EVs are capable of driving where traditional cars and human drivers do.
Tesla, an electric car company founded by Elon Musk
CASE STUDY This case study explores the integration and impact of electric and autonomous vehicles in the transportation sector, focusing on a fictional city named "Greenville" and its efforts to embrace sustainable and autonomous mobility solutions. •Adopted electric vehicles. •Integrated autonomous shuttles. •Reduced emissions and costs. •Faced infrastructure challenges. •Achieved environmental and economic benefits. OPPORTUNITIES • Eco-Benefits: EVs emit no pollution, less air and greenhouse gas emissions. Self-driving cars can cut traffic, fuel consumption and emissions. • Autonomous vehicles can reduce accidents caused by human error, making driving safer for everyone. • Electric and self-driving cars can be more efficient than traditional ones, cutting transportation costs and increasing productivity. CHALLENGES • Challenges for EV and self-driving cars include insufficient charging stations and specialized infrastructure needs. • Electric and autonomous vehicles are pricier, hindering accessibility for consumers. • Electric and autonomous vehicle regulations vary by region, creating uncertainty for manufacturers and consumers.
