A Connected Car refers to a vehicle equipped with internet access and various communication technologies. This allows the car to share data with other devices, such as smartphones and traffic management systems, enhancing the driving experience. Features often include navigation assistance, real-time traffic updates, and remote diagnostics. These vehicles can also communicate with each other, a concept known as Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, which helps improve safety by alerting drivers to potential hazards. Additionally, connected cars can receive software updates over the air, similar to how smartphones operate, ensuring they stay current with the latest features and security measures.
