Toyota and Honda showcase next-generation mobility at ITS World Congress

At the ITS World Congress 2026 in Gangneung, South Korea, major automotive players Toyota and Honda presented technologies aimed at achieving zero traffic fatalities while maintaining freedom of movement.

Toyota outlined a roadmap to deploy predictive driving support starting in 2028. This initiative focuses on using infrastructure-to-vehicle communication to identify hazards that onboard sensors might miss, such as obstacles obscured by buildings or other vehicles. In collaboration with Qualcomm, Toyota is developing dual-band V2X semiconductors supporting both 760MHz and 5.9GHz bands to ensure reliable communication across different regional regulatory environments.

Honda demonstrated technologies designed to support human drivers and reduce danger through smartphone connectivity and virtual space testing.

Additionally, security provider AUTOCRYPT showcased its Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) security solutions and national Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) research, highlighting its deployment of secure authentication technologies across South Korea.
