I am working in the field of V2V technologies at the Volkswagen Group Research since 2012. I was involved in V2V related projects like simTD (http://www.simtd.de/), CONVERGE (http://converge-online.de) and others which are partially funded by the German government and the European Commission. The department that I work for deals with V2V based cooperative driving und is involved in the V2V standardization work of the Volkswagen Group in Europe. In addition, we observe the activities regarding V2V in other countries and are involved in the harmonization of the standards in the US and Europe.
