According to new Parks Associates research published ahead of the 2016 International CES, 44% of car owners in US broadband households already have some a connected car feature on their current vehicle and 64% of drivers want connected car features as standard on their next new ride.
This should be greeted as good news for anyone in favor of self-driving cars. Connected cars are safer cars. They can access real-time information on traffic and weather conditions and, crucially, communicate with other vehicles and even road infrastructure so that they know when there's a car around the corner, out of sight, or if the light ahead is about to change colour.
