Vehicle-to-vehicle
Our partners in the automotive industry are convinced that autonomous cars will be hitting roads by 2025.
A wide range of sensors include features such as a 360-degree view of the car’s surroundings. The type of sensor used will depend on the manufacturer, but most will use a combination of lidar, radar, laser and video cameras.
Simply put, V-2-V communication means that cars will communicate with each other and, in a perfect world, all cars will be equipped with this technology as it will certainly make driving safer. With this technology, cars will be able to react in milliseconds to any changes in speed made by the car in front. This would reduce traffic jams, increase road capacity and reduce accidents. For example, you could receive a notification if a motorcycle or emergency vehicle is quickly approaching from behind.
Vehicle-infrastructure-communication
This is one of our favorite projects as we aim to provide safety features deemed absolutely necessary for a fully autonomous car in the future.
With vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, all cars will be equipped to communicate with signs and traffic lights. Warnings will also be displayed and cars will be intelligently rerouted to avoid accidents, high traffic areas or roads with warnings posted.
