How V2X technology will change how you drive

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology has been proving its merits in one field test after another for nearly 10 years, but recently the technology has really started to take off. What was the pivotal moment for V2X? Some experts might say it was when Tesla launched its innovative Autopilot feature in 2014, signaling that autonomous driving was on the horizon. Others might say the seminal moment came last year when the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) issued its Federal Automated Vehicles Policy and when the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) followed that policy by issuing a proposed rule "that would advance the deployment of connected vehicle technologies throughout the U.S. light vehicle fleet." The NHTSA's proposed rule creates a mandate for V2X or V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) communication technology in all new cars and lightweight trucks.
