…over a three-year period. Optimus Ride is collaborating with Clemson University, the University of California, Berkeley, and Argonne National Laboratory to provide mobility services for students, faculty, staff, and visitors at Clemson and conduct research on the interplay of sustainability, rider behavior, and autonomous vehicles (AVs). Transportation accounts for about 30% of total U.S. energy needs and generates the largest share of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. The deployment is part of the Department of Energy's (DOE) $60 million effort to fund 24 research and development projects to decarbonize the transportation sector and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from passenger cars…
