That’s the same amount as annual emissions from California and Texas combined right now.

Ultimately, self-driving cars won’t just transform our streets — they’ll change our lives. One of my favorite studies has demonstrated that widespread adoption of self-driving cars will lead to a 90% reduction in accidents. It will also mean 80% fewer vehicles on the road — opening up more space for all of us in our cities and communities. Having fewer cars on the road will also dramatically reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions…

…l be able to tap into our wealth of data and experience to create the best self-driving experience. All of this can happen much more quickly because we’re working together to create the transportation ecosystem that will define our future.
