Mazda6 Testing ASV-5: World’s First Car-To-Tram Safety Communication

New technology from Mazda allowing cars and trams to ‘communicate’ is about to be trialled in Hiroshima.

Dubbed ASV-5 (Advanced Safety Vehicle), the system has been fitted to a Mazda6 which will hit public roads this month.

It is hoped that the new technology – developed jointly by industrial, academic and government organisations - can improve safety on roads being used by both cars and trams.
