According to the eggheads at the University of South Australia, cars could feature short-range safety communication technology within the next four years.

Professor Alex Grant, director of the Institute for Telecommunications Research at the University of South Australia said that a team has been working on a system which uses Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) technology using GPS and WiFi signals to share data between vehicles.

Using this technology, the DSRC-enabled cars are able to determine the likelihood of a safety issue or a potential accident, and then alert the driver.  If a crash is inevitable, the system can control and start functions like seatbelt tensioning and airbag deployment.
