| 摘要： | OVER THE LAST CENTURY, WE HAVE BEEN IMPROVING THE U.S. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM-BUT IT IS FAR FROM PERFECT. Interstates divide communities. Nearly 37,000 people die on our roads in a typical year. Our sector is responsible for 28% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. Before COVID-19, Americans spent more than 100 hours a year on average in traffic. Twenty years into the 21st century, technology presents us with an opportunity to reimagine our system and transform outcomes for generations. In some ways, COVID gives us a glimpse of what it could look like with reduced greenhouse gas emissions, thanks primarily to less traffic. Bicycle sales, particularly for electric bikes, have soared; it has been great to see more people biking and walking, and we want to encourage using active modes of transportation. When making choices, however, people must consider the risk of getting hit by a car, which happens far too often to vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians. If we broadly deploy vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies, we significantly reduce the chances of tragedy striking on rural highways and city streets. |
