text: Driverless cars are going to be more eco-friendly than human-driven cars. Sergey Brin, a Google cofounder, believes that with a system of driverless vehicles, there would be 50% decrease in use of fuel. He also said that creating a public transportation system comprised of driverless vehicles would fundamentally change the world. With driverless technology, programs could easily be created to help reduce the use of fossil fuels when possible. Driverless cars in the future could perhaps shut off the engine while waiting at a railroad crossing. This is just one of the many uses that programming could help reduce the use of fossil fuels. Regenerative systems could also be put into use to reduce the use of fuel. Hybrid technology has been put into use by many manufacturers today, and could definately help driverless cars become more eco-friendly.
