Webinar: Assess the Impact of Mandate-Driven Auto Safety in the
United States
A positive decision
from the Department of Transportations’ NHTSA agency this August will create a
surge of interest and demand for DSRC tech in the V2V & V2I
space. It’s thus clear that all companies in this value chain must be ready for
the ramifications and rewards of this government legislation.
We got together
Toyota, Cisco and Michigan Department of Transportation on an exclusive live
webinar to reveal how they are pre-empting this key mandate decision and how
they plan to take advantage of new growth opportunities in this space.
Hear how they are
preparing for the US mandate here:
