Apple's 'Project Titan' car could warn you what it is about to do, well before it does it

    "Newer cars will have V2V communications"  <--- This!

    With all the R&D going into competing systems, they are forgetting about interoperability. Like the way smart home device manufacturers wanted just 'their' 
    system, but now at least there seems to be an effort to standardise this.

    All cars will have bluetooth/wifi, so there should be a common language they all speak to let cars around them know their intention.
    That way Siri can announce to you "The car ahead is about to change lane" (or not bother if its on auto pilot, just respond OK and slow)
    And if a car up front has to emergency brake, all cars back will know within milliseconds and prevent pileups

    I cant wait for self driving, the sooner we get rid of the Nut-holding-the-wheel the better. A networked mesh system of cars is surely going to be safer than humans. 

    Or, if you drive in Detroit, "just respond OK, and speed up to close the gap"...  

    It's been a few years since I've been there.   But I quickly learned that, on the freeway, Detroit drivers never signal a lane change because, if they did, that gave the other drivers advanced warning to speed up and close the gap so you wouldn't get in front of them!   (But, they did seem give a lot of hand signals -- or should I call them finger signals?)
    ....  So, Titan,  whatta gonna do about THAT one!

    I think putting an external panel like an oled screen on the rear window seems redundant and pointless.


    Newer cars will have V2V communications and the same info can be wirelessly transmitted and displayed in your own car via the instrument panel or HUD.

    Yeah, because looking at your instrument panel to determine a vehicle might be merging into your vehicle is better than keeping your eyes on the road and that said interception vehicle. /s
    HUD = Heads Up Display

    I think autonomous car has a better chance of mass adoption if Apple can convince people it is safer to let the AI drive instead of human.

    Self-driving cars will become safer than human driven ones so long as their security and programming remain unhacked.

    There will probably be a standard in the future, but it's not going to be V2V, but rather Car2Car, since there are also other vehicles like bikes, that don't have a way of receiving the bluetooth&wifi communication from the cars in the vicinity. There are also pedestrians. Therefore I think the visual cues are a good complement to the B2B (or rather Car2Car) communication.
