The gap between technology readiness level in Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) and its adoption and deployment has caused a phenomenon where at least two types of network access technologies have to coexist. Furthermore, for the case of ETSI Intelligent Transport Systems protocols, work is being completed in Release 2 of the specification while Release 1 deployments are still underway. This, coupled with industry and consumer trends in the vehicle industry, is bound to cause a scenario where fully C-ITS-enabled vehicles have to coexist with non-C-ITS road users and, at the very least, with different versions of C-ITS. In this paper, we analyze the performance in terms of efficiency and safety of two releases of the ETSI GeoNetworking protocol, as well as a discussion on possible paths to tackle the upcoming compatibility and coexistence problems.
