Democratic Representative Peter DeFazio and incoming chair Sam Graves in a letter Thursday urged Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to help ensure automakers can deploy "vehicle-to-everything" technologies to use cellular transmissions to avoid crashes and help address the rising number of U.S. traffic deaths.
"Transportation stakeholders have highlighted the current challenges to V2X deployment, including regulatory uncertainty and a failure to quickly approve waivers for Cellular vehicle-to-everything," the letter said. "Given the regulatory uncertainty caused by the FCC’s recent actions in the space, the Department must play a strong leadership role to support the deployment of V2X technologies.
The FCC and USDOT did not immediately comment but USDOT said in October it "believes there continues to be significant disruption and challenges posed to current and future transportation safety communications and connectivity due to the reduction in the amount of dedicated spectrum."
