"The automobile is becoming the ultimate consumer electronics product," declared Gary Shapiro, President and Chief Executive of the Consumer Electronics Association. ITS America agrees and understands that enormous innovation is sweeping consumer electronics in the area of in-vehicle technology.
The Intelligent Transportation Society of America and the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) work every year to develop exhibits, demonstrations and sessions focused on connected transportation and the consumer for the International Consumer Electronics Show. In 2012, ITS America hosted a session entitled New Applications using Vehicle-to-X Technology. This session examined how future cars will be able to talk to neighboring vehicles, traffic lights, or even pedestrians' mobile devices using short range Vehicle-to-X (V2X) technology, or “Wi-Fi on wheels.” V2X may open a new set of "connected vehicle" safety and consumer applications.
