Introducing Kyocera's patents: V2X technology
A technology of the future, which connects automobiles to all things
Expectations for the development of autonomous cars continue to grow. Communications technologies are essential for making autonomous cars possible. In the future when autonomous cars are commonly driving on public roads, vehicles will communicate with pedestrians' smartphones, with traffic signals and other infrastructure, and with other cars on the roads in order to ensure everyone's safety. Communications between cars and pedestrians, between cars and infrastructure, and between cars are generally referred to "V2X" or vehicle-to-everything.
Assuring your safety and security in the future
Utilizing its experience in the research and development of mobile phones, mobile communication base stations and automotive communication modules, Kyocera is actively seeking to further develop V2X technologies with the aim of delivering enhanced safety and comfort to both pedestrians and drivers in the future.
