🚖Toyota’s V2V Plan Says Automaker Still Betting on Talking Cars
The automaker said Monday it will begin installing “vehicle-to-vehicle” communications (known as V2V) in U.S. models beginning in 2021. By the middle of the next decade, most Toyota and Lexus models will have the capability, the automaker says.
V2V transponders allow cars to talk to each other and to nearby infrastructure, such as traffic lights. A car with the technology can shoot out a radio signal with information about its speed, acceleration, braking and direction. It can receive signals from other cars.
