Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication – Challenges
Vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) refers to automobiles’ ability to wirelessly share data with one another. The primary goal is to allow vehicles to communicate speed and position to help prevent collisions. Depending how this technology is used, the driver might simply be told they must brake now or risk an accident, or it may take more direct action to stop the event. More and more devices are becoming connected through the cloud, an Internet-based system of software and services that can be accessed through a variety of methods. The future of the automotive industry is no exception, as slowly but surely cars will become connected. Connected cars made after 2010 usually…

As more and more cars are equipped with driver assistance systems, drivers are starting to feel that the more control is taken out of their hands, chipping away at the joy of being behind the wheel on the open road.
Google CIO Ben Fried: "Data Is Incredibly Important"
Tech companies tend to focus on creating the next new and shiny big thing. Space-age gadgets and ingenious apps might get the headlines, but according to Google CIO Ben Fried, their importance pales in comparison to data. “People think about the next app or the next little bit of technology to solve the next problem,” Fried said recently in a Daily Telegraph interview, “but really the long-term benefits come from thinking about the importance of data, securing it, sharing it and governing it.” Fried’s philosophy certainly sheds light on why Google has become such a data mining powerhouse. Tools like Google Analytics are helping smaller companies understand who their customers are,…

Future car technologies – Advanced control
This is the final part of the Future Car Technologies series of articles. In order to make highways safer, it has been proposed that future cars should be grouped into platoons of eight to twenty-five cars and drive as one following each other at a distance of about a meter. They would all be controlled by an artificial intelligence or a lead driver (which ideally would be the most experienced of the whole group). Such a grouping would greatly increasing the capacity of roads. Brief assessment of the technology Such a technology might require buying new cars, or it may be something that can be retrofitted. Drivers would probably need…
