Charlotte is taking one more step toward the future.

Let’s connect the dots.

On Thursday, Charlotte officials are set to announce a new pilot program in South End. All of it is based on an app called Travel Safely.

The app uses technology to connect to a network of intersections and other drivers. It allows you to keep your focus on the road, all while receiving audible warnings from your phone.
