ITS G5 basics
> ITS G5 is derived from the standard IEEE 802.11
 Also known as Wireless LAN
 frequencies in the 5.9 GHz
> Automatic connection and creation of an ad hoc network when two or
more vehicles at range
 All ITS stations know the position, speed and direction of the other stations and will be able to
provide warnings and information.
> Range limited to a few hundred meters …
>…but every vehicle is also a router
 It allows sending messages over multi-hop to farther vehicles and ITS stations.
> Limited to V2V/V2I/V2P applications

Cellular V2X (C-V2X) basics
> Two complementary transmission modes using C-V2X
Network communicationsDirect communications
Independent of cellular networks
ITS Band (5.9 GHz)
Similar but different from ITS-G5
No sim needed
Traditional mobile broadband
Licensed Spectrum
Partnerships with MNOs.
Can coexist with ITS-G5, using different channels in the ITS band

The future of C-V2X
> Main expectations for 5G are in developing advanced
autonomous car behaviours
3GPP V2X phase 1
Rel-14 (2017)
Basic set of requirements for V2X service
3GPP V2X phase 2
Rel-15 (2018)
New features, including latency reduction
3GPP V2X phase 3 (“eV2X services”)
Rel-16 (end of 2019)
Advanced services
-Advanced Driving
-Vehicle Platooning
-Extended Sensors
-Remote Driving

Delegated act : a draft not technology neutral
> The European Commission, plans to propose legislation regarding
C-ITS by the end of the year
> There are concerns that the current proposal would lead to a “lock-
in” of ITS-G5 as the de-facto central communications V2X
technology…
> …hindering the development of C-V2X in Europe

Strategies and roadmap

16. www.idate.org © IDATE DigiWorld 2017 – p. 16
Dilemma between gradual automation or leapfrog
> Disagreements among automakers regarding technology and the
overall strategy for introducing autonomous driving
 Some players are arguing that safety is a concern with level 3 cars, and that the
industry should “leapfrog” directly to higher levels
 Some are aiming at developing level 5 cars without V2X
> … while some majors players
are planning for fully self-driving
directly
> Level 3 cars are already
available for some …

Some highlights in other countries
“From the beginning of 2019, we will have the legislative framework authorising
level 4 experiments.
By 2022, a regulatory framework will be put in place to allow autonomous vehicles
to circulate.”

Uncertainties regarding the development of autonomous vehicles
> Reliability in all conditions
-Complex driving environments, inclement weather, hacking risk
> Opposition from workers of certain industries
> Poorly defined regulation
> Consumer aversion to driverless vehicles
Public is more worried than enthusiastic about self-driving vehicles
