When a parked automotive vehicle is located at a hazard location, both a Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) modem of the parked automotive vehicle and a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) engine of the parked automotive vehicle are left on to increase safety, relative to turning the C-V2X modem off, by having the C-V2X modem continue to send C-V2X messages. When the parked automotive vehicle is not located at a hazard location and is located at a known long-parking location, turning off both the GNSS engine and the C-V2X modem to reduce battery-power consumption relative to leaving both the GNSS engine and the C-V2X modem on.
