Re: [ipwave] V2X and Mitsubishi

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

I learn from TV advertisement that Mitsubishi puts V2X on hybrid
rechargeable vehicles now on market.  It is a great news at first sight.
  Only VW announced similar things here until now (see below Car2X).

But, V2X means that the vehicle can plug into a variety of electric
sockets at home, on building, on grids... It does not mean it sends CAM
messages.  It does not even mean that it sends messages to the charging
spot.

Once again this V2X term means something entirely new I hear for the
first time.

I am not sure whether we want this term V2X better reflected in
draft-ietf-ipwave-vehicular-networking-20 or that people at 3GPP want to
update their definition of V2X, or not.

With such huge disconnects on such simple things as the term V2X it
might be that there is little hope in progressing towards unification.
