Connected Vehicles Technology Can Improve Road Safety

Much is being spoken about how connected vehicles technology will help to prevent road collisions and avoid dangerous situations by providing vehicles with the ability to communicate with each other and other users plus infrastructure on the roads. This information may confuse many people to leave them wondering how vehicles will begin to communicate with each other. People need to understand that vehicles are just machines that have no mechanism of communication. However, they are being provided with the ability with the help of V2X technology which has been developed by companies such as AutoTalks for the benefit of vehicle owners.
 
The new technology is slated to usher in fresh methods of driving by giving vehicle owners advance information of oncoming vehicles by providing them alerts to take precautionary actions. V2X is a reliable non-line of sight sensor that works in environments and weather conditions of all types. The technology can be used in manned vehicles to convey information to drivers as well as in autonomous vehicles in order to complement existing sensors.
 
Drivers of vehicles often encounter problems because they are unable to view smaller vehicles such as motorcycles which can appear before them without warning. This problem is compounded even further in bad weather conditions or on roads that are not fully equipped to handle the traffic. The problem often leads to accidents causing fatalities and/or injuries to the drivers. Connected vehicles technology can make it possible for drivers to view the oncoming vehicle in advance and allow them to take preventive measures.
 
The V2X chipsets from AutoTalks can enable a global revolution in communication by providing the most advanced and secure V2X solution developed for autonomous vehicles. The advanced technology from this company is to be mass deployed in the years to come in order to complement the information being received from other sensors especially in non-line of sight scenarios, poor lighting conditions, and bad weather. The technology can significantly improve road safety by effectively coordinating vehicles, pedestrians, autonomous cars, and motorcyclists.
 
Field trials of the technology have already been completed in China in conjunction with a Chinese tech giant. It is likely that the technology will become an essential requirement in vehicles in the years to come as road accidents are unlikely to diminish by themselves. Drivers can consider themselves fortunate as and when the governing authorities decide that the technology is a must have for every vehicle.
 
AutoTalks that was founded in 2008 is a pioneer and leader in the V2X technology and is providing customers with state of the art international V2X solutions. These solutions are supporting both the C-V2X and DSRC and are helping to reduce collisions on the roads and improve mobility in all places with the automotive qualified chipsets they have developed. People wondering whether they can have the technology fitted into their vehicles are advised that they will have to wait for a little longer as the full benefit of the technology will only be available after the governing authorities have made arrangements for the 5G Internet which is an essential requirement for connected vehicles.
 
Presently autonomous vehicles are using this technology but the drivers of these vehicles still need to maintain manual control over their vehicles to a certain extent. This is because of the lack of 5G Internet that does not allow the vehicles to be fully autonomous. However, it is expected that by 2020 the infrastructure needed will be in place to allow connected vehicles technology to be used in all vehicles. There will be a small waiting time for the technology to be implemented but everyone can rest assured it will be available and in all probability will be a requirement that cannot be ignored.
