It's fascinating to see the future unfold under our feet.
We hear about about these things almost every day: advanced safety systems, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, or driving in difficult climatic conditions are all subjects that interest vehicle owners.
With Cadillac, this includes communication between vehicles, hence the term V2V or vehicle-to-vehicle safety. Cars equipped with V2V technology will share information that can be used to warn drivers of potential hazards, a significant step toward an increasingly connected future.
V2V technology
It’s been said that to work well in a group, you have to know how to communicate. That's exactly what Cadillac has created with the V2V system. A symbiosis between short-range communication and GPS technology. This solution can effectively handle 1,000 messages per second between two vehicles separated by a distance of up to 300 meters.
V2V is a system that systematically scans intersections or other road lanes in constant search of potential hazards that would otherwise be invisible or too far away for any driver. In short, it’s a major advance in the field as we’re in preventive rather than reactive mode, with a cushion of several seconds to respond with a safe manoeuver in case of driver error or miscalculation.
Technology that allows the car to see what the driver doesn’t see. Connecting vehicles with V2V technology has enormous potential, as it allows the car to collect and analyze data that is outside the driver's field of vision.
Information sharing
Obviously, for the vehicles to communicate with each other, they will need to be equipped with this technology. At the moment, few vehicles are equipped with this advanced technology, but at the rate of development seen in recent years, it’s more than possible that this technology will be mandatory within a few years.
