Although cars that can talk seems like a crazy idea at first, it actually might be a common concept that arises in the next few years in the United States. The idea is that each vehicle will be equipped with communications equipment that will allow your car to send data consisting of your speed and position as frequent as ten times per second. One situation that this might help with could be if you were about to pull through a green light intersection, and another vehicle blew the red light. Your vehicle would tell you to stop, and you would, preventing that accident. It is estimated that up to 81% of all automobile crashes could be prevented from using this system, which would hugely impact society in a positive manner. This technology could eventually lead to vehicles communicating with traffic lights, street lights, signs, and other things allowing warnings of hazards or congested routes ahead of time.http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/In-Gear/2014/0205/Cars-that-talk-could-make-driving-safer
