"The DOT exists for two reasons: to save lives and make people's lives better. I am unaware of a more significant technology we can use other than V2X to save lives and make people's lives better." - Shailen Bhatt, Federal Highway Administrator.
"While any technology improvement designed to help keep pedestrians safe can be a good thing, it ignores the primary culprit of the problem: the design of our streets leads to deadly interactions between cars and pedestrians." - Eric Cova, Transportation for America.
Advocates are calling for a focus on low-tech solutions like redesigning roads and boosting transit to prevent traffic deaths, stating that technology may be insufficient without infrastructure changes.
The V2X technology allows vehicles to communicate wirelessly about their size, speed, and direction, potentially warning drivers of collisions, but some argue the root of safety issues lies in road design.
