Commsignia demonstrates next-generation V2X autonomous car technology in Silicon Valley

Commsignia is working together with multiple strategic partners to demonstrate the future of self-driving vehicles with vehicle-to-vehicle communications technology. The first milestone of the cooperation was presented at the V2X & NAIAS Debrief event organized by the Autotech Council.

During the live vehicle demo, Commsignia Hybrid V2X/ADAS Safety Applications powered two vehicles showcasing Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Electronic Emergency Brake Light (EEBL) and Stationary Vehicle Warning (SVW).

Vehicle-To-Everything (V2X) communication technology connects vehicles with each other and the smart city infrastructure in order to save lives and make traffic more efficient. By sharing safety and vision data, the newly developed technology enables self-driving cars to see around the corner improving the collective safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles on the road. Red light violators, emergency brakes and stopped vehicles are discovered miles away to avoid mass collision accidents.

“Up until now ordinary and even self-driving cars were just independent building blocks on the road with no collective intelligence, this changes with V2X” said Jozsef Kovacs, Chief Executive Officer of Commsignia who spoke at the event. “We are able to make cooperative decisions based on the collective vision of multiple vehicles, making V2X a key component for autonomous driving. Companies in the Silicon Valley are the key driving force for the self-driving car technology globally, therefore, local presence, participating in such industry events, building strategic partnerships with Tier-1s and OEMs here is of key importance for us.”

Commsignia continues to develop Hybrid V2X/ADAS solutions with its partners to bring cooperative self-driving cars to the streets of Silicon Valley still in 2016.
