Instead, I'll be driving a 1983 Honda with roughly 200, 000 miles on it _ assuming my present driving patterns persist, assuming my present car persists, assuming the present world persists.
22.
In summary, electric cars are fine, even fun, for those with a short commute, a predictable driving pattern, a willingness to be stared at _ and a gasoline powered car in reserve.
23.
The driving pattern factor, DPF, is equal to 1, as DoE considered that electric vehicles eligible for inclusion in CAFE will offer capabilities, perhaps excepting driving range, similar to those of conventional vehicles.
24.
But I don't think sufficient study has been done on this to really know the full effects of this deception over a range of different cars and a range of different driving patterns.
25.
In such cases data on time dependent traffic intensities ( rush hours, weekends and working days, summer and winter driving patterns, etc . ) can be used to establish the required higher temporal resolution.
26.
Sen . Martha Escutia, the Democrat from urban east Los Angeles sponsoring the bill, has said that it would give the poor access to a basic policy and a chance to break their illegal driving patterns.
27.
The manufacturers have disputed the assertion that they evaded the pollution laws, saying that the engine tests designed by the EPA simulate urban driving patterns and that the engine designs do indeed control pollution during stop-and-go driving on congested roads.
28.
Simulators are also used in psychometric testing, driver behaviour mapping, analysis of driving patterns for driverless car development, etc . Example : Central Road Research Institute and Faros Simulation System have jointly developed a car simulator for extensive research purposes.
29.
Vehicles that obey voice commands, record motorists'driving patterns and even talk to other cars, are in the pipeline, although they may not arrive for some time, according to David Nishijima, manager of technology research and development at the 3-year-old facility.
30.
The battery pack is expected to retain 70 80 % of its capacity after 10 years but its actual lifespan depends on how often DC fast charging ( 480 volts DC ) is used and also on driving patterns and environmental factors.
