I think we do know it would help. If your car can't physically see the car 1/4 mile ahead, but gets info that it has slammed on its brakes, thats very useful.

If you've ever driven in bumper to bumper traffic on a highway you know how invaluable this info would be, even to a human driver.
Plus info about road conditions (icy spots ahead!), etc..
- jrockway 10y agoI also feel like if you know where every car on the road is, you can also optimize the traffic light timing. There is no reason to sit at a red light at 2:00 in the morning when there are no other vehicles, pedestrians or bicycles on the road. But the law currently requires it.
- mantas 10y agoSo bicycles would have to carry the car-to-bicycle communication device too?

- londons_explore 10y agoSounds reasonable. They already require other safety devices like lights at night and brakes.
- Unklejoe 10y agoAgreed. This is exactly why I hate driving behind SUVs. I like to be able to see the car in front of the car in front of me. It gives some additional reaction time.
