You may be guilty of accelerating up to intersections and slamming the brakes at a red light – this common habit can generate significant carbon emissions each year. But programming modern cars to glide up to intersections instead could significantly reduce annual emissions.

An AI-powered model suggests that if every single gas or diesel-powered vehicle in the US consistently followed certain eco-driving practices, they could cut the country’s yearly carbon emissions by between 62 million and 123 million tonnes.
