Kada vozimo, ulazimo u stakleni balon, zaključamo vrata i pritisnemo gas, oslanjajući se na naše oči da nas vode-- iako možemo vidjeti samo nekoliko automobila ispred i iza nas. Ali što kada bi automobili mogli dijeliti podatke sa drugima o svom položaju i brzini, i koristiti modele predviđanja za izračunavanje najsigurnijih ruta za svakoga na cesti? Jennifer Healey zamišlja svijet bez nesreća. (Snimljeno na TED@Intel.)

Jennifer Healey: Kada bi automobili mogli pričati, nesreće bi mogle biti izbjegnute.

Car accidents are the top cause of death for US teens, and three-quarters are unrelated to drugs or alcohol. The real problem is that drivers are isolated, relying only on two eyes and limited senses inside a moving metal bubble. Sharing real-time data between cars, like position and speed, would let vehicles warn each other and predict dangers before they happen. By letting cars 'gossip' with each other, safer roads become possible for everyone.
