On 25 October 2024 , the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) demonstrated the latest innovations in the Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology family to help achieve “Vision Zero” for all road users. The demonstrations illustrated the potential of 5G-V2X to enable new use cases integrated across multiple automakers, service providers, and mobile network operators.

For the very first time, 5GAA demonstrated 5G-V2X Direct technology integration in Audi and BMW vehicles with the support of 5GAA members Autotalks, Bosch, Commsignia, and Fraunhofer FOKUS. This demonstration illustrated how technology can alert drivers about pedestrians and cyclists even before they can see them, leveraging sensors and a camera feed from other vehicles. The demonstrations showed the high bandwidth and low latency performance characteristics of 5G-V2X Direct using ETSI Release 2 messages.

5GAA members Bosch, Commsignia, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Keysight Technologies, LG Electronics, Mercedes-Benz and Vodafone, and the Coalition for Cyclist Safety, showcased ready-to-deploy, interoperable applications to increase awareness of vulnerable road users and emergency vehicles on public roads in central Berlin. Safety awareness alerts were delivered via 4G and 5G networks with low latency thanks to Multi-Access-Edge Computing and precise positioning, as verified by Anritsu’s performance measurements. ETSI-standardised messages were shared in real time between apps from various service providers.

“In Germany and across Europe, the ecosystem is ready to leverage the tens of millions of vehicles already connected via mobile networks and is now geared for the 2^nd generation technology with 5G-V2X including direct communications,” said 5GAA Chairman Christoph Voigt.

Autotalks and Bosch, together with Commsignia, demonstrated the benefits of collective perception related to vulnerable road users. Ettifos, Keysight Technologies, Rohde & Schwarz and SEA Datentechnik also exhibited 5G-V2X Direct interoperability and conformity solutions and radio performance verification.

To show that C-V2X is about both safety and efficiency, Audi, supported by Commsignia and Autotalks, demonstrated a use case for “cooperative parking” based on 5G-V2X Direct.

In line with 5GAA’s Visionary 2030 Roadmap, 5G is continuously being deployed in many car models and 5G-V2X Direct is expected to be mass-deployed in commercial vehicle models as early as 2026. This week’s event underlined the continuous commitment of major European automakers to 5G-V2X following 5GAA’s Open Statement^[1] in 2023.

For more information, watch the video below.

BRUSSELS, 3 December 2024 – The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) has sketched out an upbeat vision for better transportation safety, efficiency and sustainability with the third edition of its Roadmap for advanced driving use cases, connectivity, and technologies.  

The 24-page Roadmap III builds upon a 5GAA white paper first published in 2020 and updated in 2022. It includes both a summary of market and technological developments since the last report as well as a forecast of the market readiness and roll-out of connected mobility technologies through 2030, with a focus on cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology. 

Thanks to the rapid expansion of cellular networks worldwide, about 300 million vehicles, including about two-thirds of all cars sold in the world’s major automotive markets, are now “connected.” Moreover, road and other infrastructure owners and operators have continued to expand a network of roadside sensors, traffic lights and other devices that help make transportation smarter, safer—including for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users—and more sustainable.  

While most vehicles and infrastructure to-date have relied on C-V2X technology to communicate with one another via cellular networks, the Roadmap also sees a growing role for “direct” vehicle-to-vehicle and related communications as soon as two years from now. 5GAA expects 5G-V2X Direct-enabled vehicles and related services to begin to be mass-deployed between 2026 and 2029, starting in Europe.  

In addition, the third edition of the Roadmap for the first time describes a timeline for new use cases enabled by non-terrestrial networks and advanced Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC). Satellite connectivity could help guarantee ubiquitous service in rural areas and disaster situations as soon as 2027, for example.  

“Connected vehicle technologies and the market have both come a long way, since 2000,” said Maxime Flament, 5GAA Chief Technology Officer. “Our latest Roadmap foresees the continuous evolution of C-V2X cellular and direct communications technologies that will help save lives, make transportation more efficient and more sustainable and accelerate the spread of autonomous vehicles,” he said.  

5GAA sees the Roadmap as a guide to help vehicle manufacturers, telecommunications network operators, road and other infrastructure owners and operators, as well as governments, understand the investments, speed and spectrum requirements needed to ensure the most efficient deployment of the new technologies and services. This, in turn, can help governments achieve their stated vision of zero road fatalities more quickly and also expedite the deployment of autonomous vehicles.
