The decision allowed C-V2X for the exchange of standardized communications between vehicles and between vehicles and infrastructure.
And the need for such safety improvements is growing.
The NHTSA reported in its most recent data that there were846 bicycle fatalities from motor-vehicle-related accidentsin 2019.
That represents a 36 percent increase since 2010.
Year-over-year, NHTSA reported on-road cycling injuries increased 4.3 percent to 49,000 in the US in 2019.
Future Tech
But Audi isnt the only company working on safety improvements for cars and bikes.
Robot vehicles will also be able to automatically keep an eye on their surroundings.
DeepRoute.ai has developeda car perception systemto process the data captured from these sensors.
“A production version is expected to arrive as early as 2025.
