We Need You: Policy and Technology
Technological Issues
§What are infrastructure requirements for V2V data security?
§Is DSRC required or are other communication technologies adequate?
§How much and what type of infrastructure is needed?
§Is positioning technology adequate?
§Relative positioning (V2V) versus absolute positioning (V2I); differing GPS manufacturers
§Will system scale to accommodate all vehicles?
§Will DSRC radio channel switching for safety and other applications work? Or, will a separate safety radio be required?
Policy Issues
§Privacy
§Cybersecurity
§Governance
§Funding
§Deployment approach
§Data ownership
§Certification
§Sustainability
§Risk
§Liability
§Others
•In addition to the technical issues there are also very difficult policy issues.
•Issues such as who will be the certifying authority, and how will the devices and applications be certified for operation in a critical safety environment?  Who will enforce that operation?
•How is privacy handled?
•How will we fund wireless communication or necessary infrastructure?
•Risk and liability are other issues, as well as data ownership.
•Many of these policy issues are directly linked to the technical questions, and will be addressed over time together.
