Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is about to undergo its first major real-world test in the United States. The University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute was awarded millions of dollars to move forward with a test in the Ann Arbor area which will get 3,000 short range radio equipped cars on the road.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) believes that if cars can effectively communicate with one another and with the road that we can reduce serious collisions and other traffic issues by about 80%. The cars can tell their drivers if it is unsafe to pass, whether a car is approaching at an unsafe speed, or even when a car ahead of them slams on its breaks. The cars that can share information will not only be more efficient but they will also be much safer for everyone on the road.
