A radio technology that allows cars to "talk"to each other and avert accidents is being tested now.it warns drivers of potential intersections crashes,rear-end collisions and lane drift and could be available in everyday vehicles AR early as 2012.The technology will also enable traffic flow management and optimised route selection for drivers,reducing the cost of traffic congestion and green house gas emissions.
Live safety demonstrations of the technology will be held at an Australian dedicated short range communications (dsrc)industry event.vehicle manufactures and state and Federal government will be among industry stake holders who will see first-hand the dsrc technology developed by Kent town-based company cohda wireless.This technology essentially equips vechiles with the ability to see around corners and to predict and avoid dangerous situations.cohda has done DSRC field trials for veichle manufactures in the us and Europe and hopes to start a large scale trail in Adelaide..
