As automakers and regulators move closer to complete adoption of connected vehicles, and cities and other road owners ambitiously pursue smart and safe transportation, it is important to use a high performance and practical radio technology dedicated to road safety. We at Qualcomm Technologies believe Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) is the solution going forward.

C-V2X, which includes vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P), and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I), builds on several decades of research and standardization work in wireless technologies, automotive safety, and transportation efficiency. It includes a direct communication mode, called sidelink, which allows vehicles and roadside units (RSUs) to communicate reliably and directly with each other without needing the cellular network.
