Small group of people discuss a self-driving group-transport vehicle — A two-day conference at Princeton University convened technologists, industry representatives, policymakers and advocacy organizations to discuss how best to use autonomous driving technologies to promote mobility for underserved populations. Here a representative of the company Local Motors shows conference participants a self-driving group-transit vehicle called Olli. The vehicle was later used in a demonstration in Princeton Stadium for people with autism. (Photos by Sameer A. Khan/Fotobuddy)

SmartDriving Car Summit focuses on mobility for all

image of traffic — Princeton University researchers have found that widespread use of autonomous vehicles (AVs) could either massively increase or drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions depending, in large part, on public policy.

Autonomous vehicles could be an environmental boon or disaster, depending on public policy
