Ngo-2018, i-Uber yangenisa amabhayisikili e-elektroniki angaba ngu-8,000 e-US evela eShayina phakathi nenkathi yamasonto amabili, njengombiko wezindaba we-USA Today.

Kubonakala sengathi le nkampani enkulu ehambela ukugibela ilungiselela ukwanda okukhulu kwemikhumbi yayo yamabhayisikili, okwenza umkhiqizo wayo "uqhubekele phambili ngokushesha."

Ukuhamba ngebhayisikili kudlala indima enkulu ekuhambeni komuntu siqu emhlabeni wonke, kodwa kungadlala indima enkulu kakhulu ekudaleni umthelela omuhle emvelweni womhlaba wonke. Njengoba kunikezwe ukulula, izinzuzo zezempilo, kanye nokungabizi kwamabhayisikili, amabhayisikili ahlinzeka ngengxenye enkulu kakhulu yezokuthutha kwabagibeli basemadolobheni, okwamanje kusiza ekunciphiseni ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kanye ne-CO2.₂ukukhishwa kwegesi emhlabeni jikelele.

Ngokusho kombiko osanda kukhishwa, ushintsho lomhlaba wonke ekukhuleni kokugibela amabhayisikili kanye nokugibela amabhayisikili kagesi okubonwe eminyakeni yamuva nje lunganciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamandla kanye nokukhishwa kwe-carbon dioxide okuvela kwezokuthutha zasemadolobheni ngamaphesenti afinyelela ku-10 ngo-2050 uma kuqhathaniswa nezilinganiso zamanje.

Umbiko uphinde uthole ukuthi lolu shintsho lungasindisa umphakathi imali engaphezu kwamaRandi ayizigidigidi ezingama-24. Inhlanganisela efanele yokutshalwa kwezimali kanye nezinqubomgomo zomphakathi ingaletha amabhayisikili namabhayisikili kagesi ukumboza amaphesenti afinyelela ku-14 amamayela asemadolobheni ahanjwa ngo-2050.

"Ukwakha amadolobha okugibela amabhayisikili ngeke kuholele emoyeni ohlanzekile kanye nemigwaqo ephephile kuphela—kuzokongela abantu nohulumeni imali eningi, engasetshenziswa kwezinye izinto. Leyo yinqubomgomo ehlakaniphile yasemadolobheni."

Umhlaba ubheka kakhulu imboni yokugibela amabhayisikili, kungaba semijahweni yokuncintisana, ezokungcebeleka noma ohambweni lwansuku zonke. Akunzima ukubona kusengaphambili ukukhula okuqhubekayo kokuthandwa kwamabhayisikili njengoba uthando lwabantu lokugibela amabhayisikili lukhula ngenxa yokwanda kokuqaphela ukuvikelwa kwemvelo.
