Cities consume 75% of global energy, making urban mobility a key sustainability challenge. This article examines connected vehicles, intelligent traffic systems, and micro-mobility solutions transforming city landscapes.

With carbon-neutral targets looming, automakers are revolutionizing materials, propulsion systems, and manufacturing processes. This article explores bio-based composites, solid-state batteries, and circular economy models reshaping the industry.

The global autonomous vehicle market is projected to reach $556 billion by 2030, yet technical limitations and societal concerns threaten its trajectory. This article examines Level 4/5 automation advancements, sensor fusion innovations, and the regulatory frameworks shaping the future of mobility.

A 2025 UC Berkeley study reveals that 23% of Waymo Level 5 autonomous vehicle users developed clinically diagnosable "control anxiety disorder," characterized by heightened stress during passive commutes. This article cross-references neural imaging data from MIT’s Mobility Lab, Waymo’s 2024-2025 user behavior logs, and interviews with 1,200 California drivers. Findings suggest that complete relinquishment of vehicle control activates latent neurological pathways associated with threat response, challenging assumptions about human-robot trust dynamics. Regulatory implications for NHTSA’s 2025 Autonomous Vehicle Mental Health Guidelines are analyzed.

This article examines the heated rivalry between CATL's solid-state battery and Toyota's hydrogen fuel cell technologies, both claiming to achieve 1,500km range in 2025 mass-production vehicles. Through technical benchmarking, supply chain investigations, and interviews with battery engineers at QuantumScape and Hyundai's hydrogen division, we reveal critical discrepancies between laboratory prototypes and commercialized products. While CATL dominates 68% of China's EV battery market, Toyota's hydrogen stations now cover 80% of Japanese highways. The ultimate question remains: Are we witnessing a green mobility revolution or a strategic stock market narrative?
