Zusammenfassung:A method and system for estimating a wait time at a destination of a vehicle using a V2V communication are provided. The method may include: receiving, by a user interface, a request from a user to estimate the wait time at the destination of the vehicle; determining, by a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation unit, the destination of the vehicle, a distance from a current location of the vehicle to the destination, and an estimated arrival time of the vehicle at the destination; collecting, by the communicator, first information from near-by vehicles using a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication; calculating, by a controller, a number of target vehicles based on second information received from the near-by vehicles; and estimating, by the controller, the wait time at the destination based on the calculated number of the target vehicles.
