Volvo will
launch car-to-car communication in Europe for all new cars in its 90 series
before the end of the year. The system will allow vehicles to exchange information
in order to give drivers warnings for example about poor road conditions or obstacles
on the road.
Volvo co-developed the system with Ericsson. The system is
cloud-based and does not thus require a direct link between the vehicles. It
relies on a data connection to the Internet.
As an example, the system can activate a slippery road alert
based on road friction information from the car’s steering, braking, and
acceleration sensors.
