What are Connected Vehicles?

Overview

In the future cars, trucks, buses, the roadside, and our smartphones will talk to each other. Such a system of “connected vehicles,” mobile devices, and roads will provide a wealth of transportation data, from which innovative and transformative applications will be built. Connected vehicle technologies are being developed to enable safe, interoperable networked wireless communications among vehicles (V2V), the infrastructure (V2I), and travelers’ personal communication devices (V2X).
