*New Government Report States That Vehicle-to-Vehicle Technologies are
Expected to Offer Safety Benefits, but a Variety of Deployment Challenges
Exist*

A new report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), an agency
of Congress, found that the development of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)
technologies has progressed to the point of real world testing and, if
broadly deployed, they are anticipated to offer significant safety benefits.

Efforts by the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) and the
automobile industry have focused on developing: 1) in-vehicle components
such as hardware to facilitate communications among vehicles; 2) safety
software applications to analyze data and identify potential collisions; 3)
vehicle features that warn drivers; and 4) a national communication
security system to ensure trust in the data transmitted among vehicles.

The GAO report states that "according to U.S. DOT, if widely deployed, V2V
technologies could provide warnings to drivers in as much as 76% of
potential multi-vehicle collisions involving at least one light vehicle,
such as a passenger car."

However, GAO stressed that the level of benefits realized will depend on
the extent of the deployment of these technologies and the effectiveness of
V2V warnings in eliciting appropriate driver responses. The continued
progress of V2V technology development hinges on a decision that the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) plans to make in
late 2013 on how to proceed regarding these technologies. One option would
be to pursue a rulemaking requiring their inclusion in new vehicles.
