One of the more interesting items to come out of MWC this year was Volvo's initiative to make driving safer using connected cars. This is actually not new news, as Volvo announced it last year, but Ericsson were highlighting their connected car infrastructure at MWC.

The concept is that sensors on the car detect the road conditions, in particular ice, and warn other connected car users. This also has the capability to inform the local services to enable them to dispatch gritting lorries in an attempt to be extremely reactive to problems on the roads.

Ericsson has developed a connected car cloud system which is being trialled in partnership with Volvo. The connected car system covers many other aspects of data, but this particular automated feedback system is rather interesting.

This concept is completely transparent to the driver as the car's electronics decode the data being fed from the sensors and make the decision to update the central servers and thus the highway maintenance services. Of course this data could also be used to interface with the road signage enabling the cars to detect the state of the roads and then feed this information back to other connected and unconnected drivers.

Read more about the connected vehicle on the Ericsson site or the Volvo site.
