• Abstract:
  Connected vehicles have the potential to transform the way Americans travel through ; the creation of a safe, interoperable wireless communications network—a system that ; includes cars, buses, trucks, trains, traffic signals, cell phones, and other devices. ; In the past, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has focused on helping ; people survive crashes. Connected vehicle technology will change that paradigm ; by giving people the tools to avoid crashes. Connected vehicles can help drivers ; anticipate potential crashes and significantly reduce the number of lives lost each year.
