V2Me Messenger System

Before all cars on the streets become autonomous, there is a transition period where autonomous cars and non-autonomous cars are driven at the same time. To address the challenges of this transition period, V2Me Messenger System is implemented in the autonomous cars and inform drivers on non-autonomous vehicles. Autonomous vehicles can communicate with other autonomous vehicles and with the infrastructure. But this is impossible for non-autonomous cars with human driver. Thus, the V2Me Messenger System on the autonomous cars interface the communication between traffic control infrastructure and the human driver. This system is designed to help the entire transportation system by optimizing operations and improving safety.
