Vehicles equipped with this feature will be enable alerts to other vehicles up to 1,000 ft away. For instance, if two Cadillac CTS's are on the highway and one is ahead of the other experiencing slippery conditions, the vehicle behind will get an alert. Can you imagine a warning for icy spots on the road? This one feature could save a lot of unnecessary accidents by giving drivers a simple heads up, which is especially great for Michigan drivers in the winter.
Aside from the slippery road alert, there will be other alerts for things like hazard lights or hard braking ahead. This technology uses Dedicated Short-Range Communications and GPS. The alerts can be customized to the driver's preference. The next-generation of infotainment from Cadillac allows users to choose whether the alerts will show up in the instrument cluster or the heads-up display.
Although this V2V feature announced by Cadillac is strictly for CTS models, we would love to see this executed across entire model year lines for a safer future. Cadillac will be rolling this technology through the mid-interim 2017 model year CTS vehicles, but offers plenty of other safety features in their entire lineup. Some of the features you'll enjoy include the rearview camera mirror, auto front and rear braking, lane keep assist, forward collision mitigation, and so many more.
