Connected Vehicle - an extension of the M2M world
CONNECTED VEHICLE TRADE ASSOCIATION
The Connected Vehicle Trade Association (CVTA) is a non-profit business league established to facilitate the interaction, and advance the interests, of the entities involved in the vehicle communication environment. The Connected Vehicle Trade Association enables the collaboration of companies, organizations, and governmental bodies engaged in developing bidirectional vehicle communications. Membership is open to any corporation (except automakers), public entities, standards and specification organizations, educational institutions and qualified individuals.
Communication
Our first effort is to understand who the stakeholders are, their objectives and ownership in this environment, and engage them to allow for a collective understanding of the environment. We communicate what the initiatives are, and what has been developed to date with regard to technical, social and policy concerns. From there, we explore the areas of opportunity, how to participate, and help communicate member capabilities to the correct parties.
Collaboration
We seek to build a dialog for examination of the proposals, pre-deployment plans and build outs within the affected business sectors, between businesses and public entities, and for international efforts.
Consensus
In order to assure an effective means of accomplishing the important objectives, we must build consensus by those who will build, validate and operate the systems and infrastructures developed.
