President Obama Calls for Vehicle-to-Vehicle, Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication

Less than two months before thousands of transportation and technology leaders gather in Detroit, Michigan for the 21st World Congress on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), President Barack Obama today highlighted his Administration’s support for Intelligent Transportation Systems as a job creator and high-tech solution for reducing vehicle crashes and traffic gridlock.

"Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication technology represents the next giant leap in automotive safety, providing the ability for cars to ‘talk’ to each other and the world around them to avoid crashes. And we’re not just talking about cars talking to other cars but about cars talking to bikes, trucks talking to motorcycles, buses talking to pedestrians, and even traffic signals communicating with vehicles to help prevent crashes and reduce traffic tie-ups.
