What is the Car-2-Car communication? C2C is the exchange of information and data between vehicles through visual and audio interfaces. To name one of the most common examples, basically is a car comes at a confusing road in front or a barrier, and it needs to stop, the vehicles will send a signal to a following car announcing them of the situation ahead, through a buzzer or a visual signal displayed on the windshield.
This of course applies to other situations such as traffic jams, snow and icy roads, accidents and road blocks.
The technology is still in its early phases and multiple standards and requirements need to be met, starting with the WI-Fi technology that is going to be used. The key a successful Car-2-Car communications system is for all the automakers to use the same standards, that would assure a compatibility between vehicles, cheaper costs and future system updates and improvements being rolled over to all the cars.
It is clear that such technology has endless possibilities and it will change the way drivers interact on the road, but hopefully the technology will not become proprietary. Recently, Volkswagen began testing the Car-2-Car technology and the results are promising.

Nice to see a BMW dealership having a blog. Good job. I'm surprised you guys don't actually advertise on a bigger blog, there are many large BMW related blogs and it could only help.
