Equipping the country’s cars and trucks with the vehicle-to-vehicle technology, or V2V, will essentially allow vehicles to see each other and warn of a potential danger before a driver knows it is there. The Department of Transportation has now taken a key step towards requiring the technology to be in every car in the U.S., reports CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave. “Our goal is to see this technology put in place as soon as possible. We know that it has the capability to help us avoid accidents that currently happen today,” said Transportation Secretary Antony Foxx. “We can expect the potential impact of up to 80 percent of crashes today avoided because of this technology.” In 2014 more than 32,600 people died in traffic accidents on U.S. roads. The newly proposed rule will call for standard V2V technology to be adopted in a period of years. 1. What is the government’s announcement about?
