The Sensor: Lingua Vehiculum: The Competition For Connected Car Communication

The safe and efficient operation of connected and autonomous vehicles ("CAVs") depends on CAVs communicating with various systems and actors. This issue provides an overview of the two leading connected vehicle communication technologies: DSRC and 5G C-V2X, along with jurisdictional highlights on these technologies from the European Union, the United States, China, and Canada.

Background:

CAVs need to communicate with:

• Vehicles (Vehicle to Vehicle communication, "V2V");
• Infrastructure (Vehicle to Infrastructure communication, "V2I");
• Pedestrians (Vehicle to Pedestrian communication, "V2P");
• Networks (Vehicle to Network communication, "V2N");
• Devices (Vehicle to Device communication, "V2D");
