    Popular Mechanics on Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications

    Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

    Popular Mechanics‘ “buzzword” this week is Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications technologies, touting its safety benefits, open DSRC communication protocol, low cost to implement, and commitment by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to integrate similar technologies into roadway infrastructure (allowing Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication).

    Monday, July 24th, 2006

    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution features a nice article that pieces together many of the privacy concerns with new transportation technologies - a central focus of much of my research. The article notes the desire to use GPS to track vehicle movements to facilitate assessing mileage taxes, vehicle-to-vehicle communication technologies to improve safety and the already ubiquitous […]
