The U.S. has finally begun testing vehicle to vehicle technologies. The testing will be conducted by the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute, as they were awarded $14.9 million by the Department of Transportation.3,000 short range radio equipped cars will be put to the test in Ann Arbor, Michigan over the course of the next few years. After collecting data for a year, the DOT's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will decide whether to approve or disapprove the technology.
The DOT believes that 80 percent of serious collisions can be prevented if this technology is successfully implemented in vehicles.
