Autonomous vehicles have been in headlines for decades, and we at HARMAN want to reflect on all the advancements in technology that have led us to entering a new era in travel; one where vehicles can go from one place to another without anyone touching the wheel.
Automakers, state departments of transportation (DOTs) and equipment manufacturers received good news today when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a waiver allowing them to begin operating cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology on U.S. roadways.
HARMAN announced at MWC Barcelona 2023 a strategic collaboration with the American Center for Mobility (ACM) to test real-world use cases of road-ready technologies, including Vehicle to Everything (V2X) enabled by roadside infrastructure and edge computing using 5G cellular.
With greater federal government leadership, we can soon be on the road to a future of safer, more economical, and more sustainable transportation – with C-V2X leading the way.
Cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X), a wireless technology that allows vehicles to communicate directly with each other, roadside infrastructure, and pedestrians can actively encourage safe behaviors among drivers and other road users.
Qualcomm Technologies is supporting UMTRI with its Smart Intersection project to demonstrate improved automotive and pedestrian safety using C-V2X technology.
As automakers & regulators move closer to complete adoption of connected vehicles, and cities & other road owners pursue smart & safe transportation, it is important to use a high performance & practical radio technology dedicated to road safety.
