Many technologies are already connected, transmitting useful data to be compiled and interpreted.
Traffic maps, for example. Whenever you look up directions on Google, they've always got traffic information. That's because Google collects data from everyone using their GPS services, and can tell when drivers are slowing down and hitting congested traffic. It uses that data to provide you with valuable information about your driving route.
Volvo has created connected cars that seem to be doing about the same thing, only they aren't gathering information from your phone about traffic. The car itself transmits data about things its wheels and computers sense about the condition of the road.
When your wheels sense that they are slipping, and traction control must be engaged, it sends that data to a cloud, where other drivers in the area can be alerted to the danger.
This connected technology is just another nail in the coffin for traffic accidents.
Yeah, by the way, did we mention Volvo is planning to eliminate serious injuries caused by traffic collisions by 2020?
It make us proud to be a Volvo dealer.
