  • Vehicle to Vehicle talks to evade accidents

    USA government issued a proposed rule in December 2016 that all the light duty vehicles will be equipped with Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communications technology to evade accidents and enhance safety while driving.


    What is V2V?

    V2V is an automobile technology designed to allow automobiles to to each other by sharing vehicle speed, position, travel destination, acceleration, gear level, anti-lock breaking, stability control, traction control, headlamps and lane change signals. It works by transmitting data in a particular frequency band (i.e. In USA is 5.9 GHz band). Many automobile manufactures includes BMW, Daimler, Honda, Audi and Volvo was developing and testing the V2V and successfully demonstrated the system in 2006 using Cadillac vehicles.

    American Motorcyclist Association (AMA)

    In recent news the TESLA, the Tesla model X triggered a collision warning sound and applied emergency breaking before the driver predicts it.



    While the USA government taking actions on safety measures using technologies, let us see the statistics of accidents in India.


    According to the official statistics by National Crime Records Bureaudo you think the same V2V technology can be installed in Indian cars and motorcycles?
