One way to solve transportation problems is major cities is to make the cars much smaller and smarter. So-called “smart cars” have been around for many years. But there are signs of progress. Many automakers, including BMW and Nissan already offer compact electric cars. The BMW i3, already available in Europe, can brake automatically when your foot off the accelerator, consumes no gasoline and operates for 80-100 miles per charge.
“I do believe that there is a growing opportunity for new types of vehicles specifically designed for urban areas” Koslowski said, adding that these cars need more a “wow” factor and will have to become part of an urban area’s overall plan for better transportation in a city, not just showy small cars for individual drivers.
