(Jul 2018) Energy Impacts of the Three Revolutions in Transportation – Vehicle Electrification, Automation, and Sharing
On July 19, 2018, the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy and the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis held a joint workshop on the energy impacts of the three revolutions in transportation – vehicle electrification, automation and sharing. Columbia’s Center on Global Energy Policy is conducting a multi-year on peak oil demand and this workshop helped to inform this study. The workshop was held on the Columbia University Campus in New York City.
