SMART DRIVE ,SMART CARS - THAT TALK TO SAVE LIVES


AFTER  ,smart  phones,  and  smart  cities, now  comes  the  smart  cars  soon  in  future ,that  can  talk  and  save  lives.
A  common  traffic  scenario  -A  driver  moves  along  in  traffic ,  the  forward  view   blocked  by  a  truck ,or  bend  in the  road. Suddenly , up  ahead ,someone  slams  on  the  brakes.Tires  screech.Now  there  is  little  time  to  react.
Researchers  are  working  to  add  time  to  that  equation.  They  envision  a   future  in  which  vehicles  are  in  constant  , harmonious  communication  with one  another and  their  surroundings,  instantly  warning drivers  of  unseen  dangers.
Many  such  situations  can  cause  a serious   accidents  like-  when  some one  brakes  quickly  ,a  driver  runs  a  red light ,or  a  bus  bears  down  unseen  in  a  passing  lane ,when  such  situation arise  ,dashboards   in  near   by  cars  lights  up immediately  with  warnings -thus  providing  additional reaction  time  to  avoid  a  pile- up.
This  new  technology  is  named  'vehicle  to  vehicle  communication'. This  new   technology  will  be  installed   in  all  cars  and  trucks  in  the   US.
According  to   Transportation   secretary Anthony  Fox x  ,it  will  be  the next  great  advance in  saving  lives.
This  technology  is   being  tested  in  University town  of  Michigan    by  a  group  of   academic,industry   and  government  researchers.
This  technology  can  easily  be   retrofitted  into  ordinary  cars .The  national  highway   safety  Administration  estimates  vehicle -to-vehicle  transmitters     will  add  only  about $350  to  the  total  cost   of  a  vehicle  by  2020.By  the  end   of the  decade ,  the  typical  American  vehicle  will  be  part  of  a  network,  constantly  sharing  information  as  it  travels. 
At  a  government-  sponsored  pilot  program in Ann   Arbor, and  is  run  by  the  University  of  Michigan transportation    research   Institute  ,  nearly  3,000  vehicles  driven  by  volunteers  are  being  tested  in  real-world  conditions.
Already  ,there  are  cars   that  monitors blind spots ,warns  drivers  when  they  jump  a  lane  and  even  park  themselves.But  they can warn  of  only  what  they  see.
This , new  project   focuses  on  hazards  that  even  electronic  eyes    can't  spot.Thus  making  driving    more  safe  and  secure . 
SMART  CARS  ,SMART DRIVE.
