Mandatory Vehicle to Vehicle Communication Proposed
Posted on Dec 13, 2016 in Industry News | Comments Off on Mandatory Vehicle to Vehicle Communication Proposed
The US Department of Transportation has issued a proposed rule requiring all new cars and light trucks to be equipped with short-range vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems. These systems would send and receive information about speed, location, braking, and other data. Regulators expect that this technology would work with existing crash avoidance technology, such as automatic emergency braking, to help prevent traffic collisions. The rule also contains privacy and data security requirements applicable to the vehicle data transmissions. All new vehicles would be required to have this technology within four years after the rule becomes final.
