Volvo Opens Connected Hazard Alert Data to Rivals and Traffic Centers

Volvo is sharing connected safety alerts — covering animals, pedestrians, cyclists, roadwork, and accidents — with competing brands and traffic centers, not just Volvo drivers. Data flows from its one-million-vehicle fleet across Europe, the US, and Canada via automatic sensor detection and cloud-based vehicle-to-vehicle distribution. Volvo has operated connected hazard warnings since 2016.
