Earlier today we saw the new Samsung Digital Cockpit 2020 and now Samsung has shown off its new V2X or Vehicle to Everything technology on video.
The technology pairs with Samsung’s new 5G TCU (Telematics Control Unit), which is designed to provide real-time information when you are driving. This integration aims to revolutionize the driving experience by enhancing safety, efficiency, and connectivity on the road.
Understanding V2X Technology
V2X technology, or Vehicle to Everything, is a communication system that allows vehicles to interact with each other and with various elements of the traffic infrastructure. This includes other cars, traffic lights, road signs, and even pedestrians. The primary goal of V2X is to improve road safety and traffic management by enabling vehicles to share information about their speed, location, and direction.
At CES 2020, Samsung showcased how the 5G TCU (Telematics Control Unit) pairs with V2X technology and the reduced latency enabled by 5G to allow for the delivery of enhanced driving information without delay. The 5G network’s low latency is crucial for V2X applications, as it ensures that the information is transmitted and received almost instantaneously, which is vital for making split-second decisions on the road.

The video below demonstrates how V2X technology detects other cars (especially emergency vehicles) and pedestrians and delivers general traffic information. It also shows how the solution can alert the driver when they need to proceed with caution, and reduce speed when unexpected developments occur on the road.
Benefits and Applications of V2X Technology
The benefits of V2X technology are manifold. One of the most significant advantages is the enhancement of road safety. By detecting other cars, especially emergency vehicles, and pedestrians, V2X technology can alert drivers to potential hazards that they might not see otherwise. This can help prevent accidents and save lives.
Another key benefit is improved traffic management. V2X technology can provide real-time traffic information, helping drivers avoid congested areas and find the fastest routes to their destinations. This can reduce travel time and fuel consumption, leading to a more efficient and environmentally friendly transportation system.
Moreover, V2X technology can support the development of autonomous vehicles. By enabling cars to communicate with each other and with traffic infrastructure, V2X can provide the data needed for self-driving cars to navigate safely and efficiently. This is a crucial step towards the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles.
