The US Has An Ambitious Plan to Eliminate Road Deaths

The video introduces V2X (Vehicle to Everything) technology, which enables vehicles to communicate with each other and surrounding infrastructure using wireless communication like LAN and 5G. This technology aims to improve road safety by sharing data collected from vehicle sensors, although it faces limitations due to distance and weather. V2X can manage traffic flow, control speeds, and prioritize routes for emergency vehicles. However, it raises privacy concerns due to location tracking. Effective implementation requires equipping a significant percentage of vehicles and is part of a long-term plan by the Department of Transportation to reduce traffic fatalities.
