THANK YOU FOR SUBSCRIBING
Connected vehicle(CV) technology presents various environmental and highway safety benefits. Autonomous cars and connected vehicles can change the approach of transportation in the future.
FREMONT, CA: Connected cars are an example of cohesive interlinking of innovations in digital and automotive engineering fields, and the advances made from this relationship has now given life to cars that understand and interact with their surroundings.
The acceptance of virtual assistants in consumer tech products is mushrooming from the rapid progress in Artificial Intelligence and natural language processing over the last few years. The ubiquity of personalized technology nowadays has become part and parcel of the consumers' daily life.

The foundation of the connected car's principles lies in power delivered by wireless connectivity among vehicles(V2V), vehicles to infrastructure(V2I), and wireless communications for the prevention of crash, enhancing the mobility and environmental stability. The devices within the connected car, communicates with other devices, networks, and services external to the car, similar to other vehicles and infrastructure.
Operational Benefits of CVs
Geometric highway designs
Roads and intersections till now were designed based on the capacities and characteristics of a human brain. This social behavior of the human brain might vary broadly when compared to the behavior of driverless vehicles'. Unlike humans, automated vehicles depend on sensor systems to geographically locate themselves along the path and to communicate with the vehicle, infrastructure, and also to the network. This element could lead to the optimization of geometric design of highways, enabling the use of minimum control radii and curved turns.
Highways are Safe and Secure
Research has shown that the deployment of the connected vehicle along with the combined use of V2V and V2I applications can reduce unimpaired driver crashes in all types of vehicles by 81 percent. These smart vehicles can sense and communicate the hazards among each other and reduce highway crashes.
Optimizes mobility
As the Texas Transportation Institute reports, in 2011, US Highway users wasted more than 5.5 billion hours in a traffic jam. CV mobility applications help users and system operators to make smart choices that decrease the delay and jams by providing insights and tools to affect the performance of the transportation system.
Help make greener choices
The core pollutant in vehicular emissions includes nitrous oxide, sulfur oxide, and carbon monoxide, all of which have a negative impact on public health and the environment. Connected vehicle technologies will provide a real-time data report to the drivers and transportation managers to obtain inputs and make greener choices.
‘tis immensely benefitting
Since an array of potential applications and technologies exist, CV technologies showcase scope for improvements in its operational performance, an increase in mobility and functionality. Even if fully automated cars are a thing in the future, CVs are already test-driving on the roads today. As innovations and experiments continued by the companies, consumers will enjoy the spoils of these conquests with a myriad range of products and services in the near future. These innovations will be the epitome of safety, security, mobility, and convenience for consumers.
