The MIT Mobility Initiative (MMI) is delighted to announce the tenth episode of the MIT Mobility Forum Fall 2024 hosted by Prof. Jinhua Zhao. Forum Title: Vehicle Performance Trends and their Safety Implications After many decades of healthy decline, deaths in the US due to motor vehicle crashes started rising again around 2015. This increase is both in absolute numbers and deaths per million miles. Many factors are being blamed for the increases in fatalities – drivers distracted by their phones, heavier cars, higher car hood heights, distracted pedestrians, more active modes of mobility mixing with car traffic, roads that are designed purely for throughput of cars and not access for pedestrians or cyclists, to name a few. While we cannot assess all of these factors in one hour, this presentation will focus on MMI research that takes a data-driven look the performance characteristics of the current fleet of Light Duty Vehicles (LDVs) across key parameters such as acceleration in seconds (0 - 60 mph), braking in feet (70 mph - 0) of various powertrains, body types, sizes, MSRP, and Curb Weights to arrive at insights that can be used by both consumers in making more informed decisions and by policy-makers in designing a transport funding and regulatory framework that takes current vehicle trends and road safety into account. Fridays 12:00-13:00 ET, Aug 30 - Dec 13, 2024 The MIT Mobility Forum is open to the public. Please register here - https://lnkd.in/gGtR3gG7

The relationship we have with our cars has undergone a massive shift in the past few years. Gone are the days of just using the car as a means of transportation from A to B. They're now serving as devices that manage our day (calendar integrations), connect us to work and our loved ones (the fact you can join Zoom meetings from some models is insane), and even provide entertainment (Netflix on your car display, game streaming from NVIDIA). This even extends to how businesses like gas stations, restaurants, and retailers interact with their customers behind the wheel. Check out all the details in our new blog post. #connectedcars #digitalmarketing #connectivity
