2021 V2X forecast

Onn Haran
CTO & Co-Founder of Autotalks

Global expansion of V2X will take place in 2021, deployed in vehicles and infrastructure. In China, all OEMs have demonstrated their V2X capabilities and readiness in the recent ‘New Four-Layers’ interoperability event in Shanghai. Many OEMs will deploy a line of production vehicles starting next year, and expanding in the years to follow. For example, GM announced that the 2021 Buick GL6 will include V2X. More announcements from other OEMs are expected. In parallel, V2X infrastructure will be installed across the country.  Today, there are multiple infrastructure pilots in over 10 provinces. V2X will be added to C-NCAP scoring starting 2023.

V2X equipped infrastructure will be deployed in Europe as well. France and Czech Republic already have many C-ITS station installed and plan to enhance the deployment.  Other large-scale deployment are planned in Austria and other countries. Volkswagen will continue to equip its best-selling vehicles with V2X. A project to add V2X to EuroNCAP rating will start in full-force, highlighting the importance of V2X for future safety. Since 90% of the vehicles sold in EU are NCAP rated, the OEMs would kick-off their production programs.

US has finally selected a V2X technology, bringing certainty to the US market that will allow OEMs to actually start deploying. Although no vehicles with V2X will reach US roads next year, OEMs will accelerate their productization plans, with some early deployments in 2022, as was announced by Ford.
