A major issue today is the emissions of greenhouse gasses, which harm the ozone layer causing climate change. Internal combustion vehicles are one of the contributors to the greenhouse gas effect and can be reduced by diminishing the use of internal combustion vehicles and introduce electric vehicles. In the article “The car and fuel of the future” Joseph Romm a former Acting Assistant Secretary at the US Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, states that “the car of the near future is the hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle because it can reduce gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions 30 to 50% with no change in vehicle class and hence no loss of jobs or compromise on safety or performance. It will likely become the …show more content…

“About 1.24 million people worldwide die each year in collisions, and that number is expected to skyrocket to 2.2 million by 2030, according to the World Health Organization.” WHO began when our Constitution came into force on 7 April 1948, a date we now celebrate every year as World Health Day. This organization prove the needs for self-driving electric cars, with these cars many lives will be saved and to do that we need a higher demand for electric cars. Electric self-driving cars will reduce the cost of owning and maintaining a vehicle. “In fact, vehicle ownership could decline as much as 43% in the US once autonomous cars are adopted,” according to a study by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute is dedicated to achieving safe and sustainable transportation for a global society. With a multimillion-dollar research program, broad faculty expertise, and multiple collaborators, UMTRI is committed to interdisciplinary research that will ultimately increase driving safety and further transportation systems
