have the sensors and compute power needed to deploy, "
said Bosch's Stepper.
Argo has tested its vehicles using V2I technology.
The company views it as additional sensing input that
engineers can tap into, according to Hall, , " We're developing
our self-driving technology to operate as the
world is, not as we'd like it to be, " he asserted.
While AVs don't require V2I technology to operate,

it with the entire Argo fleet. Argo also is in discussion
with its city partners on the placement of new signs and
infrastructure, Hall noted, so that the company can be
proactive about adding these to its maps.
While V2I communication may be lagging AV
technology, self-driving vehicles are starting to be
deployed without this extra support. " AVs currently
UPCOMING WEBINAR
COMMERCIAL-VEHICLE PROPULSION:
HYDROGEN'S POTENTIAL TO FUEL A REVOLUTION
Thursday, January 27, 2022 at 12:00 pm U.S. EST
Speakers:
Hydrogen is fast emerging as a promising substitute
for fossil fuels, as truck OEMs, engine manufacturers,
and suppliers accelerate the development and
launch of hydrogen-fueled commercial vehicles.
While fuel cells tend to dominate the discussion,
hydrogen combustion engines also are advancing to
proof-of-concept testing on their path to production.
Speakers in this 60-minute Webinar discuss the
latest advancements and address the benefits and
challenges to both hydrogen avenues, including
infrastructure build-out, application suitability, cost,
and technical hurdles to be resolved.

it can make the road safer for everyone, although it
comes at a cost for cities. Fortunately, the U.S. DOT and
state DOTs have been providing funding for smart-traffic
infrastructure improvements, such as with Ohio Smart
Corridor. The new, $1-trillion federal infrastructure bill
also is expected to spur investment in the technology.
And by using existing traffic cameras and infrastructure,
cities and other government agencies don't
have to invest in expensive technology, especially for
a new source of transportation that's not yet proven.
" Infrastructure takes a long time to invest and change, "
said Rob Spillar, director of the Austin Dept. of
Transportation. " We're used to building transportation
infrastructure that lasts 60 years. " To have something
last a few years, that's one of the hardest things
working with technology companies. " ■
