extract driving intention data, driving capability data, and driving mode data from the one or more systems;
determine autonomous driving information from at least one of the extracted driving intention, driving capability, and driving mode data;
create a message frame that includes the autonomous driving information; and
send the message frame to the V2X system.
2. The vehicle system as in claim 1 , wherein driving intention data further comprises route data, driving behavior data and driving motion data.
3. The vehicle system as in claim 2 , wherein the route data further comprises a sequence of waypoints, driving behavior data further comprises a driving task and driving motion data further comprises a vehicle trajectory.
4. The vehicle system as in claim 1 , wherein driving capability data further comprises an autonomous driving level.
5. The vehicle system as in claim 1 , wherein the message frame is an extension to a Basic Safety Message.
6. The vehicle system as in claim 1 , wherein the message frame is sent upon request by a nearby vehicle in the V2X system.
7. The vehicle system as in claim 1 , wherein the message frame is sent periodically.
8. A vehicle system comprising:
one or more components and systems sending and receiving one or more position data and sensor data from one or more vehicles in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system;
a communication system in communication with the V2X system;
an in-vehicle autonomous driving system in communication with the V2X system;
an intention extraction module extracting driving intention data from the in-vehicle autonomous driving system;
a driving capability extraction module extracting driving capability data from the in-vehicle autonomous driving system;
a driving mode extraction module extracting driving mode data from the in-vehicle autonomous driving system; and
a message derived from at least one of the extracted driving intention, driving capability, and driving mode data, wherein the message is sent by the communication system to the V2X system.
9. The vehicle system of claim 8 , wherein driving intention data extracted from the intention extraction module further comprises route data, driving behavior data, and driving motion data.
10. The vehicle system of claim 9 , wherein the route data further comprises a sequence of waypoints, driving behavior data further comprises a driving task and driving motion data further comprises a vehicle trajectory.
11. The vehicle system of claim 8 wherein the message is sent as a stand-alone message.
12. The vehicle system of claim 8 wherein the message is sent as an extension to a Basic Safety Message of the V2X system.
13. A method for communication in a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) system, the method comprising the steps of:

deriving autonomous driving information from at least one of the extracted driving intention data, driving capability data, and driving mode data;
creating a message frame that includes the autonomous driving information; and
sending the message frame by way of a V2X sender.
14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising the step of including the message frame that includes the autonomous driving information as an extension to a Basic Safety Message (BSM).
15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the message frame is sent upon request by a nearby vehicle in the V2X system.
16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the message frame is sent periodically.
17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the step of extracting driving intention data further comprises:
extracting route data;
extracting driving behavior data; and
extracting driving motion data.
