Hello!

Is car to car communication included in your work? (Not referring to driver to driver, but machine to machine)

Do you think cars should be connected on the same grid to communicate with each other about position, speed, route, junction priority, etc? And not only rely to external sensors for the immediate surroundings.

As someone who works in the area, I can tell you that there's a lot of work going on into inter-vehicle communication, but one of the biggest problems is getting into a consensus between the many standards inside each manufacturer (which are also covered into tons and tons of NDAs).

Yeah, indeed many standards exist yet, and many manufacturers push their own standard only for business profit.

But I think maybe in 5 or more years, these all will merge to one.

I always thought this would be useful, not only in autonomous situations, but when manually driving as well. Maybe an alert when 2 vehicles are approaching a blind bend around the same time.
