I'm very excited by the DSRC/IEEE 802.11p technology used in this pilot. I don't want to wait for Tesla's "Full Self Driving" to, someday, reliably and automatically avoid an accident; I'd much rather have an idiot light on my dash provide a warning.

Also see that this technology is already being used in the new VW Golf Mk 8. See https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2019/10/28/volkswagen-includes-nxp-v2x-communications-in-8th-gen-golf/#787a930216bc https://www.forbes.com/sites/samabuelsamid/2019/10/28/volksw... and https://www.eetimes.com/vw-pits-its-new-golf-against-the-5g-lobby/ https://www.eetimes.com/vw-pits-its-new-golf-against-the-5g-...
But the situation has been terribly complicated by the cellalur industry (and Ajit Pai's FCC) wishing to appropriate the needed frequencies to provide a similar service over 5G (https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/fcc-plan-could-stall-v2x-car-safety-revolution/ https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/fcc-plan-could-st...)
Are there any Europeans who have experience with the new Golf Mk 8's DSRC, which they have branded as Car2X?
