V2V communications can provide the vehicle and driver with 360-degree situational awareness to address additional crash situations – including those, for example, in which a driver needs to decide if it is safe to pass on a two-lane road (potential head-on collision), make a left turn across the path of oncoming traffic, or in which a vehicle approaching at an intersection appears to be on a collision course. In those situations, V2V communications can detect threats hundreds of yards from other vehicles that cannot be seen, often in situations in which on-board sensors alone cannot detect the threat.
NHTSA has worked in close partnership in this research both with other DOT agencies, including the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology and the Federal Highway Administration, and with several leading auto manufacturers and academic research institutions, who have invested significant resources into developing and testing V2V technology. The collaboration of government, industry and academia is critical to ensure V2V technology's interoperability across vehicles.

NHTSA May Mandate That New Cars Broadcast Location, Direction and Speed | CNS News
The
upside of a government-mandated movement toward cars that are not
controlled by the people riding in them is that it could make
transportation safer, allow people to use time spent in a vehicle for
work, rest or entertainment, and give people who are currently incapable
of driving because of age or disability the opportunity to move as
freely as those who can now drive.
The downside is that such a transportation system would give the government at least the capability to exert increasing control over when, where, if--or for how much additional taxation--people are allowed to go places in individually owned vehicles. It could also give government the ability to track where people go and when.

Government Plans To Require New Cars To 'Talk... by NewsyVideos
NHTSA announces plans for V2V regulation - News - RubberNews.com - Where the rubber industry gets its news first
V2V represents the next generation of auto safety improvements, DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx said at a Feb. 3 press conference. "By helping drivers avoid crashes, this technology will play a key role in improving the way people get where they need to go while ensuring that the U.S. remains the leader in the global automotive industry."
Within the next few weeks, NHTSA will release a study on V2V based on a pilot program conducted in Ann Arbor, Mich., involving 3,000 vehicles. The Automotive Service Association said it will post the study on its website, www.TakingTheHill.com.
