For ten years, researchers in communications engineering in Lund have worked in close collaboration with Volvo Cars and other vehicle manufacturers to study communication between vehicles. The result is robust communication solutions that function in all surroundings. There’s been an accident and rapid help is needed. If the car involved is a Volvo, it has already contacted the emergency services.
