Car maker Hyundai has bought a stake in Israeli vehicle-to-everything (V2X) chipset provider Autotalks. The pair will work together to accelerate deployment of “next generation chipsets” for connected cars, the South Korean firm said. The size of the investment has not been disclosed. Reuters has...

A free-wheeling NI Week keynote panel discussed self-driving cars issues A physicist, a semiconductor salesman and a lawyer all met on a stage at NI Week -- sounds like the beginning of a bad joke involving a bar. Instead it was National Instruments’ keynote panel...

Vehicle trial leveraged sensors, eMBMS, Nokia MEC platform   Finnish vendor Nokia and Japanese communications firm KDDI said they have successfully demonstrated the use of LTE technology in Japan to deliver low-latency connectivity for vehicles. The partners claimed to be the first in the world to use...

Is the Trump administration backing away from mandating the use of Dedicated Short Range Communications technology in new vehicles? The Associated Press reported that the administration has decided not to pursue a final vehicle-to-vehicle mandate for auto manufacturers to deploy DSRC, citing four anonymous sources, including...

The trial will focus on automotive safety, automated driving and traffic efficiency AT&T, Ford, Nokia, and Qualcomm Technologies have announced what it claims to be the first cellular-V2X (C-V2X) trials in the U.S. The involved companies said that testing is expected to take place in the...

The research firm said V2X still needs a credible installation strategy ABI Research said V2X (vehicle-to-everything) communicaitons is finally gaining momentum in the smart mobility industry, with a growing number of initiatives, trials and product launches. The search firm said the cellular technology, which is being...

NXP claims technology leadership in DSRC rulemaking comments. As the cellular industry and standards bodies increasingly seek to support connected vehicles, the federal government is considering whether to mandate the use of dedicated short-range communications capabilities – or interoperability with DSRC – in...
