This is the way needed to go to make traffic safer, and it's a natural progression with the systems we have now. We already have collision avoidance systems in production cars today that help with braking to minimize injuries on both other cars and pedestrians. Using radar and cameras with image detection. Adding a communication channel where the computers in the cars can make other cars aware of their status is one of the next steps.

I, for one, welcome our new Dark Age overlords.
