The US Department of Transportation (USDoT) is seeking public comment on how Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology should be integrated into the transport environment.
The organisation says it intends to maintain the priority use of 5.9Ghz spectrum for transportation safety communications. It points out that the automotive industry and local authorities “are already deploying V2X technology and actively utilising all seven channels of the 5.9 GHz band” and says that technology such as Cellular-V2X (C-V2

Boeing has joined forces with California-based Kitty Hawk with the aim of advancing air urban mobility.
Steve Nordlund, vice president and general manager of Boeing Next, a subsidiary focusing on exploring urban air mobility, says the partners will focus on "safely advancing the future of mobility".
Kitty Hawk's range of electric transportation solutions includes Cora, a two-seated air taxi, and Flyer, a vehicle for personalised flight.
In January, Boeing completed a test flight of its autonomous
The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) is hosting a series of webinars on the key issues and opportunities facing automated vehicle and transportation systems. Fundamental Issues for Road Transport Automation is the first in this series of webinars produced from the 2015 Automated Vehicles Symposium. This 90-minute webinar will explore the issues that need to be addressed to advance the deployment of automated road transport systems.
The next Compass4D combined workshop and showcase event on the real deployment of ITS takes place at the Automotive Campus in Helmond in the Netherlands on 4 April.
The workshop will discuss the actions needed to deploy ITS: What cities should do and what they expect from the industry; The role of European, national and local authorities; and the appropriate business models to guarantee a successful C-ITS deployment. The workshop will also show some of the ITS services for safer and cleaner transport in
