Ford conducted connected-car technology trials in China for the advancement of vehicle connectivity networks, improvement of automated driving systems, and the betterment of traffic efficiency.
Ford and Datang, a Chinese telecommunications equipment group, have been performing what they are calling Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything technology (C-V2X) trials in China since late 2017, according to the automaker. The tests assessed the potential in C-V2X connected-car technology, where communication between wireless infrastructures in cities and connected vehicles will support automated vehicles.

C-V2X technology extends a vehicle’s ability to see, hear and understand its environment, enabling vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to collaborate and respond more effectively in potentially hazardous situations, Ford said in a release.
Ford and Datang conducted the trials at the National Intelligent Vehicle Pilot Zone in Shanghai, a intelligent connected car demonstration area in China, according to Ford. The tests built on Datang’s work in creating LTE-V2X technology, which is the first phase of C-V2X technology and Ford’s key role in the area of intelligent connected vehicles (ICV) in China.
