Abstract
A communication system for vehicles includes a plurality of communication devices at respective geographic locations along a road. The communication devices are operable to wirelessly communicate with vehicles traveling on the road. The communication system communicates with a vehicle traveling on the road. At least some of the communication devices along the road communicate location information to the vehicle traveling on the road. The location information is communicated at least during situations where GPS satellite reception at the vehicle is lost or interrupted. The communication system may communicate signals to an automated driving system of an autonomous vehicle to control the autonomous vehicle as it travels on the road. The communication devices may wirelessly communicate with a remote server.
