The system is named V2V, which stands for vehicle to vehicle, and it enables cars fitted with this device to communicate with each other. Speeds, direction, and of course location, this enables the system to evaluate the levels of warnings according to the data it has.

The system has been called “Sixth Sense” which is quite apt really as this is exactly what it is, a sixth sense where car and driver can get information in advance. The system predicts what a car is doing in speed and direction, and can give the driver a clear warning of another vehicle on the freeway that is slowing down ahead or pulling across from the side.

The system uses a clever mix of GPS receivers, LAN networks and establishes communication with other vehicles within a few hundred meters, where the system obtains the information of speed, location, direction and acceleration.
