Qualcomm Showcases V2X Technology at 2026 Gangneung ITS World Congress to Advance Road Safety

Qualcomm Technologies is set to showcase its vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technologies at the 2026 Gangneung ITS World Congress in South Korea, demonstrating how real-time communication between vehicles, road infrastructure, and other road users can enhance traffic safety and contribute to the development of intelligent transportation systems.

The congress, running from October 19 to 23 at Gangneung Olympic Park, brings together government officials, industry leaders, researchers, and technology specialists to discuss advancements in connected and autonomous vehicles, smart infrastructure, AI-powered traffic management, mobility services, and transportation policies. Qualcomm's demonstrations will cover scalable V2X, integration with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), smart infrastructure, and global V2X applications, emphasizing how wireless connectivity can supplement traditional vehicle sensors to provide warnings about potential hazards beyond a driver's or sensor's line of sight, ultimately improving situational awareness and enabling faster responses to traffic risks.

Qualcomm Korea's President, Sangpyo Kim, will deliver a keynote address focusing on the company's efforts to advance V2X technologies from standardization and development to commercial deployment, highlighting the importance of collaboration among automakers, infrastructure providers, and technology companies in building a connected transportation ecosystem.
