Correct Option: D
Explanation:

DSRC is a dedicated wireless technology specifically designed for vehicle-to-vehicle communication, providing low latency and high reliability.

What is the primary function of an infotainment system in a vehicle?

  1. To provide navigation and mapping services

  2. To control the vehicle's climate and audio systems

  3. To enable hands-free calling and messaging

  4. To access and display vehicle diagnostic information


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Infotainment systems typically include features such as touchscreens, audio controls, climate control, and navigation, allowing drivers to interact with the vehicle's various systems.

Which type of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) uses sensors to detect and warn drivers of potential hazards?

  1. Adaptive cruise control

  2. Blind spot monitoring

  3. Lane departure warning

  4. Forward collision warning


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Forward collision warning systems use sensors to monitor the distance and speed of vehicles ahead, alerting drivers to potential collisions.

What is the primary benefit of using telematics data in fleet management?

  1. Improved fuel efficiency

  2. Reduced maintenance costs

  3. Enhanced driver safety

  4. Increased productivity


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Telematics data can be used to track vehicle location, fuel consumption, and driver behavior, helping fleet managers optimize routes, reduce idle time, and improve overall productivity.

Which connectivity protocol is commonly used for communication between vehicles and roadside infrastructure?

  1. Bluetooth

  2. Wi-Fi

  3. Cellular networks

  4. Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

V2I communication enables vehicles to exchange information with roadside infrastructure, such as traffic signals, toll booths, and weather stations, to improve traffic flow and safety.

What is the primary purpose of a telematics control unit (TCU) in a vehicle?

  1. To collect and transmit vehicle data

  2. To control the vehicle's infotainment system

  3. To manage the vehicle's electrical systems

  4. To provide navigation and mapping services


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

TCUs are responsible for collecting data from various vehicle sensors and transmitting it to remote servers for analysis and processing.

Which technology is commonly used for wireless charging of electric vehicles?

  1. Inductive charging

  2. Capacitive charging

  3. Resonant charging

  4. Contactless charging


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inductive charging uses magnetic fields to transfer energy wirelessly from a charging pad to an electric vehicle's battery.

What is the primary function of a heads-up display (HUD) in a vehicle?

  1. To display navigation instructions

  2. To provide real-time traffic updates

  3. To project vehicle speed and RPM information

  4. To show incoming calls and messages


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

HUDs project important driving information, such as speed, RPM, and navigation instructions, onto the windshield, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road.

Which type of ADAS uses cameras and sensors to detect and alert drivers to vehicles in their blind spots?

  1. Adaptive cruise control

  2. Lane departure warning

  3. Blind spot monitoring

  4. Forward collision warning


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Blind spot monitoring systems use sensors to detect vehicles in the driver's blind spots and alert them with visual or audible signals.

What is the primary purpose of a vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU)?

  1. To control the vehicle's engine and transmission

  2. To manage the vehicle's electrical systems

  3. To provide navigation and mapping services

  4. To collect and transmit vehicle data


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

ECUs are responsible for controlling various aspects of a vehicle's operation, including engine performance, transmission shifting, and fuel injection.

Which technology is commonly used for keyless entry and ignition in vehicles?

  1. Bluetooth

  2. Wi-Fi

  3. Radio frequency identification (RFID)

  4. Near-field communication (NFC)


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

RFID technology uses radio waves to identify and authenticate key fobs, allowing drivers to unlock and start their vehicles without using a physical key.

What is the primary function of a vehicle's tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)?

  1. To monitor tire pressure and alert drivers of low tire pressure

  2. To adjust tire pressure based on road conditions

  3. To provide real-time tire temperature information

  4. To detect and repair tire punctures


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

TPMSs monitor tire pressure and alert drivers when pressure drops below a safe level, helping to prevent tire blowouts and improve overall vehicle safety.

Which type of ADAS uses sensors to detect and warn drivers of lane departures?

  1. Adaptive cruise control

  2. Blind spot monitoring

  3. Lane departure warning

  4. Forward collision warning


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Lane departure warning systems use sensors to monitor the vehicle's position within its lane and alert drivers if they start to drift out of the lane.

What is the primary purpose of a vehicle's electronic stability control (ESC) system?

  1. To prevent wheel lockup during braking

  2. To control the vehicle's traction and stability

  3. To provide automatic emergency braking

  4. To adjust the vehicle's suspension based on road conditions


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

ESC systems use sensors to detect loss of traction or stability and apply brakes and adjust engine power to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle.
