Connected Vehicles Aim to Revolutionize Road Safety and Efficiency
New technologies enable cars to share real-time data, potentially reducing traffic incidents and fatalities.
- Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming are leading efforts to implement vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology.
- V2X technology allows cars to communicate with each other and roadside infrastructure about road conditions.
- A federal blueprint aims for 25% of intersections in top metro areas to be V2X-equipped by 2028.
- Privacy concerns persist despite assurances of data anonymity and security.
- Pilot programs in Michigan and Texas are testing smart road corridors to enhance traffic management.
