V2V System.s of the Future

V2V or vehicle to vehicle technology isn't a necessarily new concept however it is gaining some steam recently. What this new software/hardware combo allows is for two or more devices to communicate through wireless means and take actions based on different factors. The biggest use for such a system currently is in driving and self driving cars. V2V would allow any car to communicate with other cars around it and through sensors determine appropriate action to take based on weather and traffic conditions as well as more. A great example is say there is black ice on the road and a car a couple miles ahead of you happens to hit it, the system would register the issue and send information to every vehicle in the vicinity alerting them how to steer clear of such problems or how to safely navigate through.

The implementation of this system could come either as a heads up display HUD set up or as self driving cars. In the HUD implementation any relevant information would be posted to the driver through use of a windshield or other augmented reality type. This would be great in itself and help greatly reduce accidents and other issues on the road but taking it one step further it would be possible to make self driving cars even better by letting them communicate like humans. These vehicles would be able to navigate much more efficiently and safely. A V2V system could be implemented in nearly any aspect of modern life from phones to traffic signs and lights. The more devices that are connected the more accurate the system becomes and the more useful as well. It will be a couple years before we start to see this kind of tech and there are many hurtles to overcome such as hackers but one day soon we could all be driving around asleep at the wheel thanks to something like this.
