By way of a computer chip and Global Positioning System ( GPS ) technology, V2V alerts drivers to potentially dangerous situations such as lane changes and abrupt changes in traffic patterns. V2V can instantly warn drivers of potential driving hazards with chimes, visual alerts, or seat vibrations. If the driver doesn’t respond, the vehicle can bring itself to a safe stop, thereby avoiding a collision.

V2V also simplifies instantaneous traffic intelligence by replacing the sensors, radar and camera equipment that are needed today for adaptive cruise control and blind spot detection.

GM media guests will experience one-on-one demonstrations of the Lane Change/Blind Spot and Collision Warning with Auto Brake features in simulated real-world traffic situations. To maximize your time behind the wheel, those traveling from Manhattan will be transported in a luxury bus, and the briefing will be conducted during transit time.
