"Most traffic issues occur because of non-line-of-sight scenarios," the government panel said in its 58-page draft, which is being reported for the first time by Reuters.
"Most sensors do not work well in these scenarios and V2X fills the gap," it added, referring to the connected car technology commonly known as vehicle-to-everything (V2X).
In Europe, the Euro NCAP rules recognise vehicle connectivity as a key milestone in crash avoidance and car ratings, the report added, while China and the United States are among the nations evaluating similar rules to improve safety.
"With limitation for growth infrastructure there is a strong need to depend on technology to address challenges," the panel said in its report.
The United States estimates introducing V2X connected vehicle technology could prevent at least 600,000 crashes a year.
