U.S. Department of Transportation officials announced Monday they want auto manufacturers to include devices for tracking location, heading, speed, and other information in all cars.

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx wants the tech in all cars for the purpose of averting traffic accidents, the AP reports. The devices would allow cars to essentially talk to each other.
