"The European Commission (EC) has set out its plans to implement new information and safety systems for vehicles based on a standard called ITS-G5, which is related to the 802.11 WiFi standards. The GSMA has thrown up its hands in horror because it fully expected that cars would implement cellular-V2X technology based on LTE and then 5G. However, C-V2X standards based on 4G and 5G are not yet ready for the prime time.
