United States of America: Adopted FCC rules on transition of intelligent transportation systems to cellular-vehicle-to-everything technology (C-V2X Auto Safety Spectrum Rules)

On 21 November 2024, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted final rules to facilitate the transition of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to cellular-vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology within the 5.9 GHz spectrum band. The rule aims to enhance transportation safety and efficiency by enabling direct communications between vehicles, roadside infrastructure, and other road users, including cyclists and pedestrians. The rules support the automotive industry and government bodies in replacing older technologies with C-V2X, offering flexibility in the use of the spectrum for ITS.
