Nobody likes to get stuck in traffic and if a German research project that is developing a peer-to-peer network that would relay important [traffic information between vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datadriven-connected-cars) as traffic situations develop is successful, getting stuck on your way to work may be a thing of the past. Not only will the system send constant updates on road conditions, traffic flow and accidents, it will also give information on speed traps and [parking availability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parkyai).

**Implications** - The concept was developed by Dr. Anselm Blocher, a researcher at the [German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-underwater-robot). This is the kind of service that would revolutionize driving for millions of drivers, and probably lower the amount of road rage experienced by drivers.
