Manufacturers of automotive components and microelectronics advocate for the early development of common standards for vehicle communication with one another (V2V) and to the road infrastructure (V2X). In particular, the implementation of this method of information exchange in the future will eliminate the use of traffic lights. Cars themselves will be able to negotiate, in what order will pass the intersection.
Interestingly, Google representatives division, which deals with the creation of "autopilot" for cars, in one of the specialized industry events recently stated that they intend to minimize the degree of robo car dependence in telecommunications infrastructure such as V2V and V2X. According to Google representatives , autonomous cars on the autonomous and to a minimal extent, depend on the development of the information ecosystem. True, Google somehow fails to mention that the existing prototypes robo car vastly dependent on accurate digital maps, which is also not covered all corners of our planet. However, to renounce the use of V2V and V2X networks Google are not going to - provided data can be very useful.
At the same time Google representatives explained that in the era of robo car structure of income dealers and service stations will change, but you can not argue that they are uniquely lose. One car will be able to serve dozens of different people. It often will require visits to the service - the representatives of the latter will make a service park robo car.
