Connectivity and V2X for Highly Automated Vehicles

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has published Connectivity and V2X for Highly Automated Vehicles, a position paper examining the role of connectivity and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies in supporting the deployment and operation of highly automated vehicles.

As automated mobility moves from pilot projects to commercial operations, connectivity is becoming an increasingly important enabler of safe, efficient, and scalable transport services.

While automated vehicles rely on onboard sensors for core driving functions, the paper highlights how network and direct Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications can enhance fleet operations, enable access to trusted external information, and support interoperability across different vehicles, networks, and regions. It also outlines future connectivity requirements and recommends greater collaboration between the automotive, telecommunications, and policymaking communities.
