Evolution of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything Technology for Connected Vehicles

Advanced vehicle communication systems are not just a convenient feature for the driver. They can also allow a vehicle to communicate with other devices on or near the road, including other vehicles, which is referred to as V2V, vehicle-to-vehicle communication.

Vehicle-to-infrastructure communication is also an emerging use case for vehicle connectivity. This involves vehicles communicating with high-tech road signs or roadside transmitters to exchange information. Because people so often carry connected devices, vehicle-to-pedestrian communication also presents some interesting possibilities that may help avoid collisions or provide other helpful real-time information.

Vehicles’ ability to connect to cellular networks also has a lot of potential to provide even more utility than the convenience features it is primarily used for now.

When consumers talk about “connected vehicles” they are usually referring to vehicles that support some desirable, high-tech convenience features, such as built-in cellular functionality that provides internet access for weather alerts, streaming, and navigation. This type of connectivity is certainly an important aspect of vehicle connectivity overall, but experts in testing and manufacturing have a broader perspective on what connected vehicles are and what they can do — or might do in the near future.

In this white paper, learn more about the key technologies that stand out in the world of vehicle connectivity and the related regulations.
