Automotive Electronics: Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) comms, what's the tech available

If a reckless driver speeds towards a road-intersection without noticing that another such rash driver is also entering from other side of the road-intersection at same time, the crashing of vehicles is sure to happen. In such situations V2V (vehicle to vehicle) and V2X (vehicle to infrastructure) communications equipped car is informed about the vehicle heading in its way, so that even if driver errs, V2V enabled safety system overtake the control and slow down or even apply brakes. This can happen best through V2V communications tech. Not only preventing accidents and also control of acceleration based on vehicles around you help better mileage. This technology along with enhancing safety eases self driving task. V2V also lead to another concept in driving called 'vehicle platooning', where multiple vehicles can move like serially aligned units . Automation of toll payment, smart traffic signal management, vehicle monitoring by transport authority is eased by using V2X. More than anything else, the basic benefit of V2X is, it simplifies and eases the self driving of vehicles. V2X provides a smart road to cars irrespective of whether they have embedded self driving electronic systems or not. The safety applications called Left Turn Assist (LTA) and Intersection Movement Assist (IMA) can prevent up to 592,000 crashes and save 1,083 lives per year, claimed by some reports. ...
