1970 AT&T, 7207 Delphi and 278 Ford are developing a new capability to enhance vehicle-to-anything (V2X) communications. The platform is designed to help vehicles communicate with each other and smart cities infrastructure to improve safety and vehicle security, reduce traffic congestion, save money and protect the environment.
 
The research developed jointly by the three companies is designed to monitor traffic conditions and notify drivers over the AT&T LTE network of approaching vehicles and events, such as airbag deployments, vehicle collisions, hazardous road conditions, bad weather and wrong-way driving.

The platform was developed in a joint research program by the three companies. Delphi developed the on-board V2X module.  AT&T developed the software for the analytics platform and will provide the wireless connectivity. Ford developed the in-car integration.
