IT Home reported on August 18 that the U.S. Department of Transportation released a national road safety plan aimed at achieving zero road deaths through the widespread deployment of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 40,000 people died in car accidents in the United States last year. The U.S. Department of Transportation believes that V2X technology can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of accidents through real-time communication between vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, other road users and infrastructure, sharing information such as location, speed and road conditions.

IT Home noted that the plan proposes that by 2028, V2X technology will be deployed on 20% of the country's highways and 25% of traffic light intersections in major cities.By 2036, the national highway system will be fully covered, 85% of traffic light intersections in 75 major cities will have V2X functions, and 20 types of vehicles will have V2X capabilities.。

However, the promotion of V2X technology faces many challenges, including spectrum allocation, network security, cost and other issues. Despite this, the U.S. Department of Transportation and related agencies are confident in the potential of this technology. U.S. Transportation Secretary Buttigieg said the plan will change the way people travel and is expected to save countless lives.
