Webinar on the new 5GAA C-V2X roadmap to be hosted in December 2022
The 5G Automotive Association recently unveiled the revised version of its 2030 roadmap, first published two years ago. To present the key findings and main takeaways of this release, the association is organising a webinar on the “5GAA C-V2X Roadmap II: Update of 2030 industry vision for Advanced Driving Use Cases, Connectivity Technologies, and Radio Spectrum Needs”, taking place on December 15.
The connected and smart mobility landscape has significantly changed since the 5G Automotive Association published its first 2030 roadmap two years ago. Since then, the C-ITS ecosystem has witnessed a rapid evolution and global deployment of basic safety services, use cases addressing traffic efficiency and VRU protection, and increasing market availability of C-V2X and 5G-V2X-based services and devices.
Over this period, 5GAA has been closely looking at advanced safety and automated driving applications, and the technology readiness to turn them into a market reality. An exhaustive analysis of the regional, regulatory and technological contexts, including state-of-the-art for standardization activities, has resulted in the publication of the 5GAA C-V2X Roadmap II White Paper.
To share this document’s main findings and highlights with the 5GAA community, the association will host a webinar on Thursday, December 15, from 2:30 to 3:30 PM (CET). Chief Technology Officer, Maxime Flament, will unveil 5GAA’s vision of the future and expected timeline for C-V2X mass deployment on the 2030 horizon, with a particular focus on advanced applications bringing on automated driving, teleoperation, automated valet parking, and sensor sharing. 5GAA’s leading contributors to the paper, Andreas Schaller (Bosch), Georg Schmitt (BMW) and Alin Stanescu (Volkswagen), will join Maxime for the Q&A session and shed light on the outcome of this Work Item.
All 5GAA delegates are welcome to join the session and contribute to a fruitful discussion on the association’s foresight and how upcoming developments will contribute to global safety, mobility, environmental stewardship and transportation equity goals.

Brussels online conference “5G: Connected Mobility in the Digital Age”
On Tuesday 28 September 2021 the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) hosted an online conference on “5G: Connected Mobility in the digital age” to discuss the ongoing challenges and opportunities fostered by the digitalization of road transport in Europe.
The event brought together EU representatives, local and national authorities, and the connected automotive ecosystem to the heart of Europe to advance the dialogue on the latest state-of-play and capabilities of Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X), the EU regulatory framework and the importance of the 5G roll-out, and the crucial role of C-V2X technology to increase traffic safety and efficiency and achieve lower emissions globally.
The Association had the pleasure to have European Commissioner for Transport Adina-Ioana Vălean open the conference and address the attendees. “Our Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy sets out milestones for the transformation of our transport system – and Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility will play a key role: by 2030, we expect automation to be deployed at a large scale” stated Commissioner Vălean.
The event welcomed high-level representatives such as Daniel Mes, Cabinet of Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Frans Timmermans, Charlotte Nørlund-Matthiessen, Cabinet of Commissioner for Transport Adina-Ioana Vălean, Member of European Parliament Henna Virkkunen, Peter Stuckmann, DG CONNECT Head of Unit Future Connectivity Systems, the European Cyclists’ Federation (Jill Warren, Chief Executive Office), Spain’s Directorate-General for Traffic (Ana Isabel Blanco Bergareche, Associated Deputy Director), the City of Turin (Nicola Farronato, Head of Innovation) and the Swedish Transport Administration (Hamid Zarghampour, Chief Strategist Connected and Automated Transports). It also witnessed a strong ecosystem presence, with speakers from 5GAA members BMW, Stellantis, Volvo Cars, Ford, HERE Technologies, Telefonica, TIM and Huawei.

Connected Mobility In Europe: 5G Automotive Association Strives For Digitalized, Sustainable And Safer Roads In The Digital Age
Europe needs a harmonized, future-proof regulatory approach that stimulates innovation and recognizes the industrial timeline and evolutionary path of technologies, conducive of European competitiveness and fostering the development of innovative business models. Innovation through C-V2X technology and sustainability-related opportunities for connected mobility were at the heart of the “5G: Connected Mobility in the Digital Age” conference hosted by the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA).
BRUSSELS (BELGIUM), 29 September 2021 – The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) organized a conference bringing together EU representatives, public authorities, and the connected automotive ecosystem to the heart of Europe at its latest event, 5G: Connected Mobility in the Digital Age. Main objective? Discuss the ongoing challenges and opportunities brought about by the digitalization of road transport on the continent.
From the latest state-of-play and capabilities of Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) to the EU regulatory framework and the importance of the 5G roll-out, the 5GAA-branded conference emphasized the ongoing momentum of the technology in Europe as it supports more and more advanced use cases to ensure safer roads and achieve lower emissions globally.
“When applied to the automotive field, 5G will have the most revolutionary impact by saving millions of lives and reducing accidents on European roads”, 5GAA CTO Maxime Flament said. “The combination of long-range and short-range connectivity C-V2X offers, delivers the optimal setup for safety and efficiency of traffic, in addition to improving environmental footprints. We believe the European Union can achieve its Green Deal climate targets for 2050, if only it boosts the digitalization of its roads – landing a rapid and efficient deployment of 5G along road networks.”
Starting today with LTE-V2X technology, 5G-V2X is paving the way for fully connected and automated mobility. Vehicles and infrastructure can exchange relevant information via LTE-V2X through direct communication mode (not requiring network coverage) or mobile network communications mode, creating a real-time connection between all road users. Many automotive services can be supported by the current global cellular standard LTE-4G, seen as an essential foundation for further progress. As a combination of LTE-V2X and 5G NR, 5G-V2X will enable more advanced connected mobility services and offer a clear path to automated driving – while maintaining service-level interoperability with pre-existing LTE-V2X vehicles. It is thus of utmost importance that the revised Intelligent Transport Systems framework encompasses this tech evolution for Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) for Europe.
Connected vehicles must reach a critical mass to impact emissions reduction significantly. The Association reiterated that establishing an innovative and investment-friendly regulatory framework that remains technology-neutral will boost Europe’s competitiveness and the number of connected vehicles on the road. As such, a seamless interaction among all stakeholders involved will be pivotal for road operators and public authorities across Europe to meet their policy objectives and enable a smooth service experience across all value-chains – to ensure a smooth 5G roll-out and robust ecosystem cooperation in the global evolving transport ecosystem.
“Our Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy sets out milestones for the transformation of our transport system – and Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility will play a key role: by 2030, we expect automation to be deployed at a large scale” stated Commissioner Vălean. “Automation will be a driver to help make 100 European cities climate-neutral by the same date. And we have another important milestone to reach: by 2050, the fatalities for all modes of transport in the EU should be close to zero. Automated mobility is expected to contribute immensely here. My expectations are high, but so is the potential!”
