The US Transportation Department and NXP Semiconductors NV are joining forces in a pilot project to use communication technology to reduce congestion and speed traffic, they said on Friday.
The department said in December that it would award up to US$40 million to a mid-size US city to pilot the efforts.
NXP and partner Cohda Wireless will give the winning "Smart City" wireless communication modules that allow cars to securely exchange data like hazard warnings over more than a mile to prevent accidents and improve traffic flow.
