‘Talking cars’ could prevent accidents before they happen

Clip: 2/3/2014 | 7m 13s

Reporter Dan Neil talks how “talking cars” could improve safety at the cost of privacy.

On some new car models, sensors can monitor outside surroundings and warn drivers of peril or kick in automatic braking. The Department Of Transportation is considering a mandate for all automakers to adopt this vehicle-to-vehicle technology. Gwen Ifill talks to Wall Street Journal reporter Dan Neil about how “talking cars” could improve safety on the roads but at the expense of drivers’ privacy.
