Early Implementations of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications on the Far Horizon
While early implementations of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V)-equipped vehicles will start appearing in the next years—partially driven by Europe’s Car-2-Car Consortium—wide-scale deployments should not be expected before 2020, according to ABI Research.
“Industry awareness about the importance of V2V and V2I is clearly gaining momentum, largely driven by its expected key role in enabling driverless vehicles, as stated by NHTSA in its Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to Begin Implementation of Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications Technology,” said Dominique Bonte, ABI vice president and practice director. “It has prompted car OEMs such as GM announcing a 2017 Cadillac CTS model to be equipped with V2V technology from Delphi, in conjunction with the Super Cruise ADAS solution. Other OEMs such as Toyota and Audi are also committed to V2V.”
