What good is an Ultimate Driving Machine if it can't get a little help
from its friends? A new hazard-dodging system from BMW could help these
Bavarian autos get a bit more chatty, each vehicle talking to nearby
traffic across long-range wireless networks. In a series of video
demonstrations, the car maker shows how the car-to-x system could give
advance warnings of traffic, emergency vehicles and weather hazards by
enabling one car to beam warnings directly to others. BMW hopes to
connect the system to mobile phone networks as latency times improve and
possibly even access data from traffic light systems. Sure, GM and Ford
got there a bit earlier, but you can see BMW's implementation
demonstrated after the break, and check out the via link for more videos
of the world's most boring game of
GTA.
