Rebound effects undermine carbon footprint reduction potential of autonomous electric vehicles
Abstract Autonomous vehicles offer greater passenger convenience and improved fuel efficiency. However, they are likely to increase road transport activity and life cycle greenhouse emissions, due to several rebound effects. In this study, we investigate tradeoffs between improved fuel economy and r...
