Telematics Update: One day until Honda, Intelligent Car Coalition and Michigan DoT come together to discuss V2V regulation in exclusive webinar

Hayden

26th February 2014

The three speakers will provide the perspectives of federal and state governments, as well as automakers; the main contenders for regulatory authority and responsibility.

The webinar comes at an exciting time for the vehicle communications industry, as this month saw the much anticipated NHTSA announcement regarding a government enforced mandate in new vehicle for DSRC equipment. After their Ann Arbor Safety Pilot found that the communications significantly decrease the number of collisions on the road, and the first steps in policy-making to accommodate and nurture these systems has begun. With uncertainty as to timelines, who will be leading this regulatory process and certifying the tech. and how deployment will be shaped, this webinar will undoubtedly provide thought provoking ideas for the future.
