In order to improve road traffic safety, Volkswagen cars of the future will be able to communicate with other vehicles on the road. The carmaker is all set to start fitting its models with a new vehicle-to-vehicle communication system - pWLAN - as standard.Volkswagen cars will be equipped with the pWLAN technology which would make them capable of exchanging selected information relevant to traffic between cars made by different manufacturers. At the same time, joint efforts are being undertaken with the partners to find ways of meeting the high requirements placed on data protection (i.e. the processing of personal data). Interestingly, the likes of Mercedes and Toyota models are already capable of communicating with each other.
