Volkswagen Claims More Than 2 Million Car2X-Equipped Cars In Europe - CleanTechnica

Volkswagen announced that it has sold over 2 million vehicles equipped with its Car2X technology across Europe as of October 2025. Car2X is a vehicle communication system that enables cars to exchange information not only with each other but also with external sources such as traffic lights, emergency vehicles, and traffic monitoring infrastructure. Unlike traditional automated driver assistance systems (ADAS), which rely on one-way sensor input, Car2X facilitates two-way, real-time communication without needing mobile network coverage. This connectivity allows for faster warnings about hazards like sudden braking, slow traffic, emergency vehicles, and adverse weather conditions, enhancing driving safety, convenience, and efficiency. Volkswagen highlights that Car2X operates on the principle of local swarm intelligence, enabling vehicles and infrastructure to cooperate and anticipate traffic situations. The system is either standard or optional on various Volkswagen models and is a key part of the company’s “Vision Zero” initiative aimed at eliminating serious traffic accidents. Across Europe, investments in Car2X infrastructure are expanding
