Cities are getting smarter every day, so are their transit options. One emerging option is autonomous vehicles (AVs), or simply cars with self-driving 1_____. However, as experts say, before we enter a reality where AVs are 2_____ into our daily lives, we will see the continued rise of electric vehicles (EVs) all over the world.Besides saving costs for consumers, EVs can bring many 3_____ benefits to the environment because they use electricity instead of gas to drive their wheels. Many large cities are trying to encourage the use of EVs by installing public charging stations throughout the city and 4_____ the vehicle registration process. At the same time, many automakers are working to 5_____ the charging speed of EVs and to make EVs more 6_____.As the use of EVs rises, greater 7_____ will be placed on the power industry. In some areas where energy resources are stressed already, the increasing use of EVs could well 8_____ the electrical supply system.EVs can also impact urban planning. Thus, consideration of commute options, location of charging stations, and open data should be part of a city's future mobility plans. It is important for automakers to partner with urban planners and utility companies to provide 9_____ experiences for consumers and residents. Imagine one day a driverless EV picks you up and drops you off, and then 10_____ to the location of the next passenger without ever stopping to recharge because of wireless power transfer from nearby energy sources.
