The "Expert Group on Communications Technology for Automated Driving" is dedicated to exploring and advancing communications technologies for automated driven vehicles. We aim to enable the equipment of all new vehicles from about 2032 with the necessary communications technology to enable vehicles with ADS active to drive as safely as practical, including doing reliable automated merging, among other applications. The Expert Group operates in accordance with the ITU CITS and welcomes participants from ITU members, UNECE WP.29 entities, and Standards Developing Organizations involved in ITU CITS. Our team, comprising experts from the automotive and wireless communications industries, is analysing current vehicle communications technology, recommending solutions for international standardization and related regulation, and identifying areas requiring further attention. We are committed to setting the groundwork for vehicle communications technology for vehicles to be delivered in 2032 and later that supports safe driving and determined, reliable merging by vehicles with active ADS, ultimately enhancing road safety and cooperation among vehicles.
