"How can we accelerate the adoption of connected vehicle technology for all vehicles including older models?"
This question, posed at the TxDOT Connected Vehicle Showcase, sparked a compelling discussion led by Ryan Zenzen, President of Paradigm Traffic Systems and Brad Stertz, Director of Audi Government Affairs for Audi of America. The consensus quickly emerged: retrofitting older vehicles like a '97 Corolla with modern connectivity tech is a daunting task, steering the conversation towards more practical solutions. The experts highlighted the potential of smartphones as a bridge to bring connected vehicle capabilities to a wider range of vehicles, emphasizing the importance of user adoption and public awareness.
The dialogue also underscored the strategic use of fleet vehicles, such as work trucks and school buses, as a direct route to widespread connectivity. By equipping these vehicles with simple yet effective technology, we can significantly enhance road safety and operational efficiency. This approach not only demonstrates a pragmatic pathway to expand the reach of connected vehicle technology but also showcases the collective effort needed to drive this innovation forward.
