Abstract - The standardization of the next generation of Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC) to and from the vehicle and between vehicles progresses at a rapid speed. In picking the consumer electronics Wireless LAN technology (IEEE 802.11) as a starting point, attractive price points and stable platforms can be achieved. In this paper, we provide an outline of the technical developments and stan-dardization processes underway, survey the targeted applications, especially in the area of active safety, and hint at market introduction scenarios.
