The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers wants to revolutionise the way we use our roads. They’ve released Cellular V2X<\/a> to the world<\/span>,<\/span> and Trek want to use it to make your bike talk to cars. Let’s take a look at the future.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vehicle to Whatever<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

If V is your car, then X could be literally anything. X could be another car, a shop, or even a tree \u2013 but Trek are looking at making your next bike an X.
