London:Coming soon: 'Talking' cars, say Italian scientists who claim to have developed a software that lets vehicles “communicate” with one another on the road. A team at University of Bologna says that the so-called talking cars wouldn't even require human-like facial features to communicate with another vehicle on the road, the 'BBC' reported. Similar technology had been used before but this time, cars would be able to “know” what had happened even kilometres ahead. And, tests suggest it could reduce motorway pile-ups by 40 per cent, say the scientists. Team leader Prof Marco Roccetti said the system they had developed was different from conventional telematics that sees a radar-type mechanism detect an obstacle on the road in front of a car, which then brakes to avoid a crash.
