This country needs 120,000 new auto, diesel and collision technicians a year just to keep up with demand, but only 57,000 students are graduating and entering the field
The data exchanges include a vehicle’s location, velocity, acceleration and path history, which can enable onboard computers to predict trajectories and reduce the likelihood of collisions. That same data – along with additional information from the traffic signal – can also help drivers avoid running red lights and prevent crashes at controlled intersections (roadside hotspots)
