5GAA and EATA partner on connected cars

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and the European Automotive Telecom Alliance (EATA) have agreed to cooperate on connected and autonomous driving solutions. They will work together to identify the long and short term technical requirements that need to be addressed, including spectrum-related issues (V2X), agreement on usage modalities of certain bands, security and privacy, as well as vehicle safety requirements to be supported by both mobile network operators and vehicle manufacturers.

The 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) and the European Automotive Telecom Alliance (EATA) have agreed to cooperate on connected and autonomous driving solutions.

They will work together to identify the long and short term technical requirements that need to be addressed, including spectrum-related issues (V2X), agreement on usage modalities of certain bands, security and privacy, as well as vehicle safety requirements to be supported by both mobile network operators and vehicle manufacturers. They say agreement between mobile network operators and vehicle manufacturers is key to developing business models and aligning the timelines of both industries.

The project will also tackle cross-border interoperability, including digital and physical infrastructure, as well as vehicle localisation issues.

    Industry experts talk to Jason Barnes about the legislative situation of current and future in-vehicle systems. Articles about technology development can have a tendency to reference Moore’s Law with almost indecent regularity and haste but the fact remains that despite predictions of slow-down or plateauing, the pace remains unrelenting. That juxtaposes with a common tendency within the ITS industry: to concentrate on the technology and assume that much else – legislation, business cases and so on – will m

    Established detection and monitoring technologies continue to evolve, but is it time to challenge their supremacy and take a serious look at less conventional ITS? Andy Graham considers the options with Jason Barnes. For ITS system providers, the most potentially lucrative markets over the next few years are going to be the BRIC (Brazil Russia India and China) group of countries, all of which are building many miles of new roads, applying tolling to existing ones (8,000km in China alone) and implementing w
