Dear colleauges,
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) will be organizing the 19th edition of the Symposium on the Future Networked Car (FNC-2024).
The Symposium will be organized as a fully virtual event, over a span of four days from 11-14 March 2024, from 13h00 to 16h00 CET each day.
FNC-2024 will examine the technology and global regulatory framework that will support deployment of highly automated mobility solutions. The latest technology advances in the areas of vehicle connectivity and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) will be discussed as ways to enhance automated vehicle development and operation, vehicle design and manufacturing, road management, and passenger experience.
Taking into account that collaboration is an essential component to develop successful standards to realize a safer future mobility powered by AI, the Symposium will delve into the relationships between vehicle communications and automated driving by analysing the crucial role of testing requirements and regulatory frameworks.
The session structure will be as follows:
11 March 2024: OPENING CEREMONY plus SESSION 1: Recent Developments in International Vehicles Regulations
12 March 2024: SESSION 2: Artificial Intelligence Applications for Vehicles
13 March 2024: SESSION 3: Worldwide Status of Automated Vehicles Testing
14 March 2024: SESSION 4: Vehicular Communication for Automated Driving
Registration to the event is free but mandatory and can be accessed for each session from the programme page. A separate registration is required for each day.

Also, a new ITU-led expert group on automated driving, will kick off on 8 March 2024 and aims to determine the requirements for all new cars sold from 2032 onwards to be equipped with communications technology for safe automated driving. The group will explore the requirements for vehicle communications technology and standardization aiming to recommend solutions for international regulation. Key challenges to address include the need for reliable automated lane merging, an essential component of safe automated driving that is yet to be solved. FNC Session 4 is dedicated to this topic.
