Popular Mechanics on Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007Popular 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).
The brief article notes “There will probably also be privacy concerns.” Yep, and you can read […]
Driving may put toll on privacy
Monday, July 24th, 2006The 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 […]
Surveillance, Privacy and the Ethics of Vehicle Safety Communication Technologies
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006For those readers interested in the intersections between privacy in public, locational privacy, contextual integrity, and vehicle technologies, my article “Surveillance, Privacy and the Ethics of Vehicle Safety Communication Technologies” has been published in the journal Ethics and Information Technology (you likely will need institutional access to view the article). Here is the abstract:
Recent advances […]
Popular Science on Vehicle Safety Communication Technologies
Saturday, August 20th, 2005Popular Science features an article on “The Future of the Car: Behold the All-Seeing, Self-Parking, Safety-Enforcing, Networked Automobile” where one of the emerging technologies discussed is Vehicle Safety Communication technology:
The next giant leap in sensing will be radio networking that enables cars to exchange information. “Communication [between cars] will be like an additional sensor,” says […]
Papers on Privacy and Vehicle Safety Communication Technologies
Friday, July 15th, 2005I am on my way to The Netherlands to particpate in two exciting conferences. I will be presenting my paper “Surveillance, Privacy and the Ethics of Vehicle Safety Communication Technologies” [PDF] at the International Conference of Computer Ethics: Philosophical Enquiry. And I will be presenting my paper “Privacy and the Design of Vehicle Safety Communication […]
DaimlerChrysler Demonstrates DSRC Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication
Wednesday, June 8th, 2005DaimlerChrysler has made the first public demonstration of a DSRC-based vehicle-to-vehicle communication application. From the press release:
Cars equipped with DSRC can communicate directly with one another, also making it possible to transmit braking signals back over several vehicles, giving drivers early warning that they might soon have to brake. In this information network, each vehicle […]
