NSC applauds the release of the "Saving Lives with Connectivity: A Plan to Accelerate V2X Deployment" roadmap by the United States Department of Transportation. This roadmap lays the groundwork to invite federal and state partners, private industry and safety advocates together to harness the power of wireless technology to save lives on our nation's roadways. In 2022, 46,027 people died in motor vehicle crashes. Preventable deaths like these are unacceptable, and with increased partnership and collaboration, deployment of V2X technology across the transportation and infrastructure network will save lives. #RoadwaySafety #KeepEachOtherSafe Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gjeXe9ba.
