The Case for Cellular V2X for Safety and Cooperative Driving

The Case for Cellular V2X for Safety and Cooperative Driving

With this white paper, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) elaborates on why Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) technology at the radio level is an essential enabler to transformational connected transportation services throughout the world. The 5GAA perspective is that 3GPP-based cellular technology offers superior performance and a more future-proof radio access than IEEE 802.11p and can leverage ETSI-ITS, ISO, SAE and IEEE upper layer standards and tests that have been refined by the automotive industry and others in the ITS community for over a decade.

To be clear, capitalising on the advantage of cellular technologies is a basis of 5GAA. We urge governments, automotive, telecommunications, and other sectors to strongly consider the business and value proposition and the overall societal benefit of Cellular-V2X defined by 3GPP. Our position is clear: C-V2X can address all known use cases and can also address future ITS use cases offering full flexibility for different business models. C-V2X should be allowed to flourish by use of ITS spectrum to address many of these use cases.
