In this brink of technology revolution of the automotive industry one another major technology is connected cars. The idea of this technology prevailed in many forms from 1940's while radio was used to communicate any messages on road. With the advancements in telecommunication and mobile technology we have more sophisticated methods of communicating safety critical information between two sources.
Automakers are working towards making this a mandate in all the future vehicles where the cars talk (vehicle to vehicle - V2V communication) to each other over short range radar to avoid any accidents and ensure passenger safety. Mobile devices and different software applications are now synced into our cars infotainment and navigation system. This is other enabling technology as automakers try to tap into these devices and transmit data across individual devices in close proximity to improve safety. Government and NHTSA are taking steps to install devices on major roads and intersections to develop a vehicle to infrastructure communication platform which will benefit both the individuals on road and the government as they have a good source of data for improving our roadways. A great amount of research is being conducted in this space to come with more innovative technologies to improve safety and also collect and use the data to improve everyday driving experience and efficiency for the customers.
