Since driving in a straight line is rarely possible (and hasnt really been done since the early century), most satellite navigation systems will opt for either the fastest or the easiest route. A new system for SatNav devices goes for the route which uses the least amount of petroleum for your vehicle. <\/p>\n
Its the brainchild of the Lund Institute of Technology, who have crunched a lot of numbers in their quest to respect the environment by pumping fewer carbon emissions into it. Test runs of this impressive-sounding protocol have cut gasoline consumption by an average of 8.2 percent. <\/p>\n
That numberand, indeed, the whole lot of the testingare dependent on such things as street quality and traffic flow, both of which can play havoc with the most well-intentioned directions. Still, its an option that is not only worth talking about because of its dedication to saving the environment one commute at a time, but also because of what could be the vanguard of a revolution in satellite navigation. <\/p>\n
