The future of road transportation: benchmarking spectrum and regulatory readiness for connected vehicles
Please sign in or register for a free public account to access this report.
Today, factors such as road safety, efficiency and sustainability are pushing vehicles towards higher levels of automation. C-V2X connectivity is emerging as a key connectivity technology for the enablement of smart and autonomous vehicles.
GSMA Intelligence has benchmarked regulatory readiness for connected vehicles across 15 markets, using key indicators such as the presence of V2X policies and spectrum allocation for safety and non-safety ITS applications. The assessment reveals an average index score of 84 and a fragmented landscape with different levels of readiness for connected-vehicles deployment. Despite the promising opportunities, significant challenges remain, including those related to connectivity technologies, spectrum allocation, safety, privacy and security. Addressing these issues will require a number of regulatory frameworks to be developed and refined.
