Does mobile-device-as-OBU architecture count as V2X for low-adoption rate congestion mitigation?
The topic identifies low connected-vehicle adoption rate as a barrier to V2X deployment in congestion mitigation. Does the topic accept architectures where the "V" in V2X is provided by commercial mobile devices (smartphones in fleet vehicles, eventually consumer devices) rather than dedicated OBU hardware, provided the edge node still produces standards-compliant SAE J2735 messages for downstream infrastructure and vehicles? This approach directly addresses the adoption rate problem the topic identifies, but it inverts the traditional V2X hardware assumption. Is this considered responsive to the topic objectives?

Commercial mobile devices can be considered as “V” in V2X to receive the advisory messages.
