V2X – Shaping Smart Cities
V2X technology uses sensors, cameras and wireless connectivity- like Wi-Fi, radio frequencies and 5G cellular technology for cars to connect and communicate with their drivers and surroundings. Cars have always communicated with drivers in elementary ways. For example, interior lights stay on when you accidentally leave a door open OR seatbelt reminders when occupants aren’t buckled in, etc. V2X technology promises that cars will be able to talk to pedestrians and bicyclists, traffic signals and road signs too. It creates a connection between cars and their surroundings that makes roads easier and safer to travel.
