Arada Systems has added two products to its Locomate series of dedicated short range communication (DSRC) devices for vehicles. The Locomate Mirror is a rearview mirror running Android with integrated DSRC, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular and backup camera. The Locomate Roof is a DSRC device that can be placed on a vehicle’s roof and powered with a USB.

 

Arada’s automotive group develops vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications technology designed to assist the auto industry as it works to meet the V2V communications rules that will be determined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

 

Arada released the products in conjunction with the North American International Auto Show (NAAIS) running at the Cobo Center in Detroit from January 12-25. Arada is one of 40 exhibitors taking part in the NAIAS’ Technology Showcase.
