  • Mercedes-Benz Car-2-Object communication in action

    New Car-2-Object and Car-2-Car communication will enable your car to warn you of an impending crash, or perhaps even take action itself to avoid one, by knowing well ahead if there’s a potential hazard in the road ahead or approaching at the next intersection. It will do this by electronically communicating with its surroundings via technology being developed by automakers around the globe. Mercedes-Benz is shaping up to be the current leader in this field, announcing today that it plans to introduce a Car-2-Car communication system in its cars as early as this year. The system will...

    Coinciding with a similar program being run in Germany, the U.S. Department of Transportation is about to start a trial of technology relying on car-to-car and car-to-object communications. The hope is that cars, either through warnings made to their driver or through autonomous systems will be...

  • Mercedes-Benz is participating in car-to-car and car-to-object research program

    Yesterday we brought you the first details about a new initiative taking place in Germany where a number of firms, including major automakers, are working to develop a common standard for future car-to-car and car-to-object communication technology. Called “Safe Intelligent Mobility - Testfield Germany” (simTD), the initiative calls for a four-year practical field test of the potential of such communication systems to improve traffic safety and mobility. The field test will consist of 120 vehicles, some of which will include models from Daimler brands Mercedes-Benz and Smart...
