A milestone for greater road safety: more than two million vehicles produced with Car2X

Connectivity can make driving a car safer, more convenient and more efficient. The production of more than two million Volkswagen models with Car2X for Europe is therefore an important step towards fewer road traffic accidents. The vehicles networked via Car2X use the principle of local swarm intelligence and can communicate both with each other and with the local traffic infrastructure in real time. In critical situations, the traffic hazard alert assist system can then display a warning message in the digital cockpit to vehicle occupants. The system is available in numerous Volkswagen models – partly as standard, partly as optional equipment.
