Collision and sudden stop warnings among features being tested
"Connected vehicle" technologies that could help drivers avoid approximately 80 percent of vehicle crash types are being tested at clinics being hosted by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
Analyses by the DOT's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show connected vehicle technology could prevent a majority of non-impaired crashes, such as those that occur at intersections or while switching lanes -- about 80 percent of all crashes that involve non-impaired drivers.
