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");
