SESSION DESCRIPTION AND AGENDA
This year our breakout session will focus on understanding the technical and regulatory opportunities to achieve improvements in energy efficiency and a reduction in GHG emissions for automated vehicles. We will focus on beyond the drivetrain enabling technologies and optimization for energy minimization of automated vehicles. Additionally we will examine new changes in regulations and policy to promote AV efficiency and decrease energy usage. The session will conclude with an open panel discussion of the speakers to amalgamate the thoughts of industry groups, regulators, academics, and public interest groups.
