Is Your City Connected Vehicle-Ready?

The concept of disruptive technology altering industries is familiar, and the impending impact of connected vehicles (CVs) on the transportation sector is widely acknowledged. Despite challenges like the recent global semiconductor chip shortage, connected cars are gaining traction. It's anticipated that by 2025, there will be over 400 million connected cars in operation, potentially reducing collisions by up to 80% at intersections. Recent developments, like the FCC's waiver for cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology and ITS America's National V2X Deployment Plan, highlight the momentum toward connected roadways and emphasize the need for investment in design, real-time traffic analytics, and V2X technologies for improved mobility and road readiness.

To prepare for this safety revolution, cities should invest in essential design elements, real-time traffic analytics, and technologies like V2X. The sooner broad participation and rapid deployment occur, the quicker the projected safety advantages can be realized. Find out more in our blog or on our connected vehicles page.
