Have you ever wondered what would happen if cars could speak to other cars and the roads they were driving on? Impossible you say?
Well, this technology may actually be in a car sooner than you think. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT’s) Research and Innovative Technology Administration is currently working on a program called IntelliDrive, which is focused on advancing communication between cars and roadway infrastructure to improve the safety and mobility of the U.S. transportation system.
According to the IntelliDrive website, if successfully deployed, IntelliDrive could enhance the safety, mobility and quality of life of all Americans while reducing the environmental impact of surface transportation.
In this episode of Vehicle Vibes Radio, host Marcia Hansen will speak with Kirk Steudel, the director of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) about driving safety and the use of real-time data on the status on both vehicles to alleviate traffic catastrophe peak periods like rush hour. Steudal has over 20 years of experience at MDOT and can answer questions about IntelliDrive, as well as provide a unique perspective on how your state legislatures can shape your driving experience.
So tune in to Vehicle Vibes radio and join host Marcia Hansen to hear more about driving safety on highways with Kirl Steudel at the Michigan Department of Transportation.
