Several public interest groups petitioned the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to take action over the implementation of Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) technology that the auto industry plans to implement in connected cars in upcoming months.

Technology-savvy consumers are increasingly motivated by advances in automobile tech, particularly around safety and convenience, when making a new car purchase. However, a lack of familiarity with connected vehicles and some lingering privacy concerns around these technologies remains as an obstacle to wider adoption and increased sales.

History repeats herself, but she mumbles. Some have expressed that she enjoys rhymes or puns. One must lean in close and listen carefully to understand exactly what she’s getting at. Most of the time we can only in retrospect discern what she was trying to say.

Audi, Deutsche Telekom, Huawei, Toyota Motor Europe and other car manufacturers are currently carrying out technical field trials on testing LTE-Vehicular (LTE-V), which is seen as a potential enabler for road safety applications and traffic control services as well as emerging automated driving use.

The automotive center of America is working out the kinks to ready the country’s infrastructure before self-driving cars roll out nationwide.

While Tampa Bay is at the forefront of connected vehicle and connected infrastructure technology, the region has to commit to the cost of such projects to be competitive in an increasingly global race.

GPS navigation. Entertainment systems that offer streaming music. Bluetooth door locks. As vehicles are increasingly connected to the internet, they also become vulnerable to hacker attacks.

Connected cars can talk to each other (vehicle-to-vehicle, or V2V), and they’re starting to be able to talk to the city they’re driving around (vehicle-to-infrastructure, or V2I). That also means baddies can potentially talk to our cars, as we’ve seen in the experimental hack of a Jeep. But hacking isn’t the only danger, because wherever there’s a computer, there’s certain to be a computer virus lurking.

Interstate 80 is widely considered one of the most dangerous roadways in Wyoming.

German engineering giant Siemens has been selected by the U.S. Department of Transportation to provide vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology for the new connected vehicle pilot project in Tampa.

Siemens, as a member of the Tampa-Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) team, has been chosen by the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) to provide vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology for a new connected vehicle pilot project.

A pilot program in the Tampa Bay area may help make it safer for commuters, pedestrians and bicyclists.

Last April, a stretch of Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Rawlins was the scene of two major pile-up crashes that involved 135 vehicles, resulted in two fatalities, and had an economic impact of roughly $23 million.

The state’s DOT hopes advanced communications will gather and distribute better information about hazards on Interstate 80, especially in winter.
