The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) is pleased to support a joint demonstration of  Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and several 5GAA members.  

The event will take place on February 5-6 at the Federal Highway Administration’s Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

In partnership with 5GAA members Audi, Verizon and Autotalks, these live demonstrations will underscore the potential of C-V2X technology to protect all road users, improve traffic flow, and create a more unified transportation system. Participants will also witness how C-V2X direct and mobile network communications complement each other, with the potential to enable 360° awareness. 

This marks the first dedicated event of its kind and reaffirms the commitment from industry to support the USDOT in deploying lifesaving V2X technologies. The insights gathered from these demonstrations, as well as from 5GAA’s conference and concurrent roundtables, will inform the path forward for nationwide deployment. 

5GAA welcomes this opportunity to work alongside USDOT and key stakeholders, laying the groundwork for continued collaboration to drive innovation and accelerate mass-market adoption of C-V2X for safer, smarter mobility across the United States. 

On Thursday, 6 February, the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) will host its highly anticipated conference “US V2X Vision: Bridging Gaps and Accelerating Deployment in the US,” bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the future of connected transportation in the United States.

Event Details

The event will also provide a platform for in-depth discussions on the progress, challenges, and opportunities in achieving a fully connected and automated mobility ecosystem in the US.

Key Themes

As the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) advances its National V2X Deployment Plan, and with recent adoption by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)  of the Second Report and Order on the 5.9 GHz band, this conference will focus on:

• Current achievements and deployments in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology;
• The impact of regulatory milestones on deployment progress;
• Priorities for the next administration to accelerate nationwide adoption.

With high-level speakers and key stakeholders attending, the conference promises actionable insights and collaborative discussions to drive innovation and deployment forward.

Panels

The conference will be centred around two dedicated panels:

• “How US States are Deploying C-V2X”: This session will include representatives from the US Department of Transportation and State Departments of Transportation, highlighting the deployment efforts and lessons learned across the country.
• “How Chattanooga Sees C-V2X as a Bridge to its Future”: Featuring representatives from 5GAA and the Mayor of Chattanooga, this panel will explore the city’s forward-thinking approach to using C-V2X as a key enabler for its mobility goals.
