Introduction – Clearing the Fog Around V2X
As roads grow busier and mobility becomes more complex, V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) technology has stepped into the spotlight. But with innovation comes confusion. Despite its potential, many people still misunderstand how V2X works, and what it really takes to bring it to life.
Let’s clear up five common misconceptions about V2X technology – and show how software-based solutions like Eye-Net are proving them wrong.
Myth #1: V2X Only Works on 5G
Reality: It works today – even on 3G.
Many assume V2X needs the ultra-low latency of 5G to function. While 5G can enhance performance, Eye-Net’s unique algorithm is designed to work smoothly on existing networks – from 3G and up.
This means V2X protection is functional now, not just in some future world of full 5G rollout. Eye-Net’s technology bridges latency gaps using smart data processing and predictive logic — so users stay protected, regardless of their network.
Myth #2: V2X Is Too Expensive to Deploy
Reality: Software makes it scalable and cost-effective.
V2X is often imagined as a hardware-heavy system requiring major investments. But Eye-Net is changing the game with a software-first approach. Eye-Net Protect is an SDK that integrates directly into mobile apps and smart devices. Eye-Net Sense connects with a vehicle’s existing smart systems. No extra hardware. No roadside units. Just quick, seamless deployment — without the high costs.
Myth #3: Optimal V2X Is Still Years Away
Reality: It’s already happening.
The future of V2X isn’t on the horizon, it’s already on the road. In a recent large-scale trial in Bordeaux, France, Eye-Net’s solutions were installed into vehicles and mobile devices to test real-world performance.
The result? Various COCA – Car Overtaking Cyclist Ahead – scenarios have been tested – urban intersections, highways, and complex mixed traffic zones. These aren’t simulations. They’re real use cases, with real safety benefits.
Myth #4: We’ll Need Costly Infrastructure to Make V2X Work
Reality: Costly infrastructure is not a must.
One of the biggest barriers to V2X adoption is the belief that highly costly infrastructure, like roadside units or dedicated short-range communication, is necessary.
Both Eye-Net Sense and Eye-Net Protect are based on existing connectivity and computing systems. From smartphones to connected vehicles, it’s highly dependent on software integration, and less on the need for costly infrastructure.
This means V2X can scale fast, without massive investments.
Myth #5: V2X Is Just for High-End Cars
Reality: It’s for everyone – drivers, cyclists, pedestrians.
V2X is often thought of as a premium feature for luxury or connected vehicles. But the real power of Eye-Net’s solution lies in its inclusivity.
Whether you’re driving, biking, walking, or even riding a scooter – Eye-Net protects all road users. It works across platforms, devices, and movement trajectories, helping prevent accidents before they happen.
The focus isn’t just on cars — it’s on people.
Conclusion: Why Software is the Smart Path Forward
At its core, Eye-Net’s solution is about software — and that’s what sets it apart.
Rather than rely on costly infrastructure or limited-range hardware, Eye-Net uses dynamic cloud servers, distributed computing, and purpose-built data transfer protocols. The end game is real-time alerts, even across crowded, complex road environments.
Whether it’s through mobile SDK integration or quick in-vehicle implementation, Eye-Net is helping move road safety from innovation to everyday necessity. By breaking down the myths, we make space for what really matters: safer streets, smarter systems, and protection for everyone on the road.
