"Our C-V2X field test results have been extremely promising so far in terms of latency and reliability. What's more - we have measured the results using pre-development hardware and we expect an even better outcome with serial products. We will continue our intense research and development into this new technology in order to bring the next generation of intelligent features to the connected car," said Johann Hiebl, head of Continental's Business Unit Infotainment & Connectivity.

Huawei will continue to invest in C-V2X and continue to work with industry partners, with an open mind, to drive forward industry development. We believe that C-V2X will become integral to people's lives, and that it will make traveling safer and more efficient for everyone" said Lu Xiaofeng, director of Huawei Wireless Network-Industry Development Department.

Connected and automated cars require an optimal technology foundation that will remain scalable and relevant in the years to come. With its competence and experience in vehicle safety and communication, Continental is committed to working in partnership with the ecosystem to integrate and deploy different wireless communication technologies, including 5G, C-V2X and Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC, IEEE 802.11p) to cater to the unique market needs for advanced communications in the automotive industry.
