1) Use V2X safety messages and content to provide day one benefits
• Focus on information and warning functions as new and retrofit devices deploy
• Cooperate with infrastructure systems providers for integrated V2V/I2V approach
2) Expand to more advanced (safety) services as deployment penetration increases
• Building on a mature system, use of effective safety features can proliferate
• Achieve improved functional integration to lower system cost
