These studies suggest that automated electric vehicles offer increased driving comfort and reduced stress, minor range penalties, significant fuel and energy savings, and are well-suited for autonomous driving due to their mechanical-electrical integration.
The integration of automation and electrification in vehicles is a rapidly evolving field, with significant implications for travel behavior, energy consumption, and vehicle design. This synthesis explores the interplay between automated vehicles (AVs) and electric vehicles (EVs), focusing on their combined impact on travel patterns, energy efficiency, and the suitability of EVs as platforms for automation.
Increased Travel Due to Automation and Electrification:
Energy Consumption and Range Impact:
Powertrain Optimization for Automated Driving:
Suitability of Electric Vehicles for Automation:
The integration of automation and electrification in vehicles presents a promising avenue for enhancing travel efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Partially automated BEVs encourage increased travel due to their comfort and cost benefits. While automation imposes a minor penalty on EV range, it does not significantly affect battery longevity, making fully electric automated vehicles a viable option. Additionally, the design and electrified nature of EVs make them particularly well-suited for automation, further supporting their role as the optimal platform for future autonomous driving technologies.
