Public policy governs spectrum management, and the deployment of infrastructure for purposes such as safety on our roads. In the U.S., the Department of Transportation and the Federal Communications Commission are currently in vehement public disagreement over how to manage spectrum for V2X, while state and local governments that are critical to the ultimate success of any policy for connected vehicles mostly sit on the sidelines, and industry players remain divided. This puts the future of connected vehicles in jeopardy.127
