For the past decade (if not longer), we’ve been preparing for a connected vehicle future, where vehicles communicate with each other, the infrastructure, and other road users – all under the guise of making travel safer and more efficient for all road users. However, and despite the increased penetration of connected and other advanced vehicle technologies, we’ve yet to move beyond piloting connected vehicles in smaller than previously imagined environments. Learn about the current status of connected vehicles, and approaches and considerations in this regard including opportunities for state DOTs and other safety partners to help propel the technology forward and to maximize the available 30 MHz.
