"By pooling their resources, AT&T and Vodafone are looking to accelerate the adoption of mobile technologies in automotive applications by simplifying global roaming and connectivity, as well as future 5G and cellular vehicle-to-everything technologies. While AT&T and Vodafone have their respective strengths in automotive, there is a real opportunity for the two to focus on V2X and V2I, as they co-develop connected vehicles to as-a-service offers, and eventually to autonomous driving. While accelerating development, collaborating will also avoid duplication of resources, resulting in a significant saving for both companies." – Vinay Piparsania
