Technology in cars is truly amazing. Over the course of the last hundred years we as a people have revolutionized the world and especially cars making thousands of years worth of progress. We went from a box with barely 20 horsepower that propells itself to putting thousands of horsepower into a compact car. An interesting new feature that cars of the future might have is cars that communicate with other cars.
Cars that can talk with eachother? Jeez.. That's only possible in animated movies like Cars and other Pixar films. Wrong. The US government and other organizations are seriously looking into V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) and V2I (Vehicle-to-Roadsigns) technology that can reduce accidents by over 80%. So how does this extraordinary technology work?
V2V communication works by sending wireless information between cars. This information will include speed. distance and all aspects of each car. The information will help keep cars away from eachother if they get too close. This revolutionary new technology will signifigantly reduce deaths, also reducing stressing parents worrying about their teenage children driving.
V2I communication is of the same concept. The vehicle will send signals to traffic lights and road signs to report safety issues and even give the best possible route to the drivers destination.
These new technologies are being worked on by various organizations and universities like at MIT. With these features in play, cars may be looked at not so much as one of the biggest killers in America but more as a safe haven that gets people from one place to another with no worries.
