Researchers of the University of Bologna, in Italy, have developed software that enabled communication between cars on the road. The researchers were soon going to introduce the talking-car-software to the world.

The researchers claimed that the software enabled the cars to know about the situations on the road, kilometers ahead and were going to help in reducing traffic jams and accidents. The software will be trialed on the roads of Los Angeles in collaboration with the automobile company Toyota by August 2011.

The main aim of the researchers was to connect all the cars via Wi-Fi or by installation of a Wi-Fi enabled sensor into a car, or by downloading the software on to a smartphone. As per Team leader Professor Marco Roccetti,”The system the team had developed was different from conventional telematics that sees a radar-type mechanism detect an obstacle on the road in front of a car, which then brakes to avoid a crash”.

The communication among cars was enabled by acceleration sensors built into cars that provided with an alert message about conditions like cars meeting accidents. Whenever a car will meet an accident, the acceleration sensors in other cars would receive an alert message before they approached the same place.
