Because informing drivers of accidents & dangerous zones … can prevent accidents and save lives
Because V2V and V2I is here to stay (smartphone style) before its time (car OEM style)
Because it is better to define a small set of information to share to prevent user interfaces to become distractors themselves
13
Why share information at this time?

Start with small set:Accident, traffic congestionTypical month data:
Danger zone: 55% Congestion : 32% Narrowing road: 7% Stopped car: 4% Accident: 2%
