The roads of the future will be able to manage traffic congestion much better than today’s networks, according to an Ofcom report released today.
The report, which discusses the future of technology as part of the Internet of Things (IoT) – a fancy word for devices that talk to each over WiFi without requiring human interaction – imagines a time 10 to 30 years down the line where cars can communicate with each other to control traffic.

The transport technology is one illustration of steps Ofcom plans to make to ensure the UK plays a leading role in developing IoT, an idea thought to be worth billions for companies. It follows Ofcom’s Spectrum plans, which made the UK one of the first countries in Europe to operate a “machine to machine” (M2M) program. M2M means devices with Artificial Intelligence, such as higher-functioning cars, talk to each other over WiFi.

“Working with industry and Government, Ofcom wants to create a regulatory environment which fosters investment and innovation in the emerging IoT,” Ofcom said in a media release. This would result in “billions of smart gadgets and devices wirelessly connected to the internet and each other.”
