U.S. and EU Joint
Achievements
One of
our most significant achievements is the development of a substantially harmonized core safety message set:
§The EU Cooperative Awareness Message (CAM) has
been harmonized with the U.S. Basic Safety Message (BSM)
§While the messages are not identical, they are
now sufficiently harmonized to require simple software reconfiguration for
systems to use both messages

Harmonization
enables the use of common hardware and
software for products destined for both
regions, reducing both cost and complexity to manufacturers and, ultimately, to consumers.
