Cover Story: The significance of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technologies can hardly be overestimated in the context of highly automated and autonomous vehicles. This article aims to systematically assess the requirements towards V2X input data for highly automated and autonomous systems that can enable certain Levels of Autonomy (LoA). It addresses the assessment of V2X input data requirements for different levels of autonomy defined by SAE International, regulatory challenges, scalability issues in hybrid environments and the potential impact of Internet of Things (IoT)-based information in non-automotive technical fields. A method is proposed for assessing the applicability of V2X at various levels of automation based on system complexity, presented through the use-case of automated valet parking. View this paper
