Opportunity for Safer Driving
Greater situational awareness
• Your vehicle can “see” nearby vehicles
and knows roadway conditions you can’t
see
Reduce or even eliminate crashes thru:
• Driver Advisories
• Driver Warnings
• Vehicle Control
Vehicle to vehicle communications has
the potential to address 82% of the
vehicle crash scenarios involving
unimpaired drivers

Intersection Crash Problem
• Intersection crashes account for 27.3%
•
of all police-reported crashes, or 1.72
million crashes annually in the US.
Straight Crossing Path crashes
comprise 37% of the intersection crash
problem or 636,400 crashes per year
(resulting in ~$18 Billion societal harm
annually)
2700 fatalities per year
Signal Violation: 1200 Fatalities
Stop sign Violation: 1500 Fatalities
