Theres a mystery out there for vehicle safety advocates: Is all the investment by automakers in connected cars increasing or reducing vehicle safety? The US Dept. of Transportation (DOT) and University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute just finished a $25M year-long study to find out. 2,800 vehicles communicated with each other in Ann Arbor, Mich., to increase safety. About 300 of the vehicles received messages that tell them speed and location of every vehicle within 1,000 feet. Former DOT Secretary Ray LaHood test drove a study car and had his own taste of what might come from distracted driving. Idea behind all of it was enabling technologies that support safety applications and communication between vehicle-based devices and infrastructure to reduce collisions.
