The development of a secure and personalised connected car

Direct communication with V2X-capable vehicles and intelligent infrastructure, such as intelligent road signs, gives drivers real-time warning of upcoming hazards over long distances and even beyond the driver’s line of sight. According to a report by the US Department of Transportation (DOT), the safety benefits of V2X applications such as Left Turn Assist (LTA) and Intersection Movement Assist (IMA) could prevent as many as 592,000 crashes and save 1,083 lives per year when the entire US vehicle fleet has the technology.
