General Motors will demonstrate this week at the Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress in Orlando a set of advanced safety systems under development that are known as vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications. These systems communicate with devices used by other drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and roadway infrastructure to provide advance warning about hazards ahead, such as slowed or stalled vehicles, slippery roads, sharp curves or intersections and stop signs. The systems can be embedded in a vehicle. They also can be made available through a small, portable device or smartphone tied wirelessly to the vehicle.
