7023 Car2Car Communication Consortium has established a functional safety group with the intention of enabling the next innovations towards cooperative automated driving. These vehicles will assume more responsibilities from the driver causing the consideration of functional safety aspects including ad-hoc short-range communication ITS-G5 for overcoming related potential safety risks.

The group will consider all communicating entities when defining requirements and methods for the implementation of functions of future cooperative automated vehicles (CAVs). The definitions will consider the ISO 26262 as well as norms from all other industry domains and shall be the base for future standards of CAVs.

During the Car2Car week in March 2018, the group will align its work programme with other technical and functional working groups of the Consortium.

    Autonomous vehicle (AV) ride-sharing services need to appeal to user motivations and overcome potential barriers or concerns, if they are to be successful, according to research conducted by Merge Greenwich. The study revealed that, on balance, ride-sharing presents a greater barrier-to-uptake than AV technology. 85% of respondents indicated a willingness to use an AV in the future, suggesting that the technology is the aspect of the service that excites them the most. 46% are willing to use a ride-shar

    The US Department of Transportation's (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is to begin taking steps to enable vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology for light vehicles. This technology would improve safety by allowing vehicles to communicate with each other and ultimately avoid many crashes altogether by exchanging basic safety data, such as speed and position, ten times per second. DOT research indicates that safety applications using V2V technology can address a large
