Vehicle to Vehicle communications are in development in major auto companies.

Major auto companies such as DaimlerChrysler have announced anti-collision systems that rely on the ability of vehicles to be able to communicate to each other via on-board technology. General Motors has followed up with its own announcement about developing vehicle to vehicle communications systems as well.

Like DaimlerChrysler’s system, V2V uses Wireless LAN (WLAN) technology, GPS and a vehicle’s numerous computer controlled active safety systems to relay data back and forth between vehicles.

The system is capable of relaying such data as Emergency Brake Warning, Blind Spot/Lane Change notification (with accompanying blinking LEDs in the side view mirror and vibrating driver’s seat), Forward Collision Warning and Emergency Vehicle Warning (with location and direction of travel for the emergency vehicle).
