Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology has been studied extensively in the past years. Limited pilot and production deployments, and research work have demonstrated V2X benefits. These include improvement to safety, mobility conditions and environmental benefits. Several safety and mobility applications have been investigated in literature. Nonetheless, V2X holds a potential for broader innovation in connected and automated vehicle applications. Feasibility assessment and algorithm validation of such applications may prove to be challenging. This results from costs associated with test track rental and equipping vehicles with V2X technology. Besides, limited V2X penetration rate leads to unavailability of naturalistic testing environment. In this paper, we investigate the use of the autonomous vehicle simulation, named Carla, for V2X application validation. Carla is an open source project that we altered to enable V2X applications assessment.
