How can smart intersections equipped with V2X save lives?

In the United States, 40% of all collisions occur at intersections. A quarter of all traffic related deaths and about half of all injuries take place at an intersection. Intersection safety is a major challenge that’s currently being tackled and is considered a top priority on the local, state and

V2X enhances intersection safety

In the US, about 40% of the accidents occur in intersections[1], causing over 6,000 fatalities and half a million injuries per year. The most frequent critical reason is “inadequate surveillance” (~44%), which is basically a failure to look[2]. The next most common critical reason, with ~8.5%, is “false assumption of

Next gen V2X development

Day2 V2X is changing the paradigm of V2X usage from “everybody, listen to what I do” to “everybody, listen to what I sense”. Day1 V2X connects vehicles to tell each other their location, speed, heading and other vehicle properties. In V2X Day2 use-cases, they also tell which objects they see.

Remote Interoperability: A New Challenge in the COVID-19 Era

C-V2X is a very complex communication standard. It includes a very high number of different configuration and operation parameters. We would like to share our experience from a recent and very successful interoperability session conducted in China. In the pre COVID-19 era, the major challenge of an interop or an expo

The high value of V2X in early market penetration

By: Onn Haran In a perfect world, V2X would be in all vehicles, enabling all road users to drive safely and efficiently. In our less-than-perfect world, some wonder why V2X should be deployed in vehicles, considering the initial low penetration. The doubters’ calculation is simple. Let’s assume that 10% of

10 things you should know about V2X

V2X can prevent accidents that no other sensor can: V2X is the only sensor that can detect obstructed or hidden objects. Most of the time, accidents are caused not by what we see, but by the surprises from what we don’t see. For example, a car bursting into an intersection,

The role of V2X in vehicle automation – today and tomorrow

By: Jeffrey Fefer, Autotalks’ Product Management Team Leader  Rivers of ink have been used to write about Autonomous Vehicles and the revolution they will bring to our lives. Indeed, we are all waiting in excited expectation for this revolution and the new possibilities it will bring. Probably the single most important

Behind the scenes of defining a company’s vision and mission

By: Lee Cohen, Autotalks’ VP HR During the last couple of weeks, I had the honor to be part of an exciting and inspiring process – defining our company’s vision and mission statements. These kinds of discussions always involve so many perspectives – business, strategy, wishes, emotions, knowledge, numbers, etc.

V2X and cybersecurity type approval

By: Onn Haran, Autotalks’ Founder and CTO A couple of weeks ago, a new United Nations regulation on vehicle cybersecurity was approved.  UNECE WP.29 will make cybersecurity a prerequisite for the type approval of vehicles. Meaning, a vehicle can be sold only if proven to be cybersecure. The regulations are set

Can V2X communication range be too long?

By: Onn Haran, Autotalks’ Founder and CTO We’ve just released a new whitepaper measuring C-V2X communication range for different antenna installations. The results were so surprising that it cost me a beer. Who would imagine that two vehicles with a single antenna would hear each other more than 1.8km apart? Not me,
