Electric Vehicles – It's Not Just About the Car
I think it&#x27;s a good article, but misses on one of its claims.<p>&gt; Another powerful driver for the uptake of electric vehicles is that they are a vastly superior platform for autonomous driving, infotainment, connected vehicle and transport-as-a-service technologies, ... And it simply makes no sense to have an inherently analogue power unit – vibrating, volatile-liquid-consuming, hot-polluting-exhaust-producing – at the heart of a fully digital, sensor-pervaded, solid-state-electronics-controlled system.<p>I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s anything true about this statement, basically.  There&#x27;s no reason not to put automated driving, connected vehicle, and transport-as-a-service technologies in petrol cars (as long as it&#x27;s still economical to make and sell petrol cars).
