March 1, 2021

Imagine if your vehicle could actually “see” the bicyclist coming around the corner, out of view, before you did. Imagine if your vehicle got an alert from the roadway indicating there is dangerous ice ahead and to reduce speed. Imagine if your vehicle got a notice of an airbag deployment seven cars ahead on the highway due to a crash, allowing you to safely brake in time and avoid a vehicle pileup. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies can do all of that and more.

Read ITS America’s newest one-pager, a brief summary of what will likely fit and what will likely be lost should the FCC move forward with its proposal.

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.
