Exhibit 1 PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT 1. Introduction Subaru Research and Development, Inc. ("SRD") respectfully requests that the Commission grant a 2 year conventional experimental license to permit SRD to operate the facilities specified in the attached application. 2. Purpose and Nature of the Operation The proposed transmissions are intended to support a continuation of operations previously authorized under STA (WJIOXPB) for technical research and equipment development, field testing and customer demonstration of devices and systems to operate in the Dedicated Short—Range Communications Service ("DSRC") in the 5.850—5.925 GHz band. The tests are intended for the continued development and the validation of series production devices and end user applications that use the DSRC communication. SRD is requesting this authority to conduct (1) experimentations; (2) research; (3) technical demonstrations; (4) field tests; (5) demonstrations of equipment to prospective purchasers; (6) testing; and (7) development of radio technique, equipment, operational data, or engineering data. The operation of SRD‘s DSRC systems as proposed here will contribute to the development and market rollout of radio technology to enhance vehicle safety, efficiency of use of the transportation infrastructure and safety of commercial vehicle operations. The experiment will involve the testing of mobile units, mainly On—Board Units ("OBUs"), only and will not involve the operation of Roadside Units ("RSUs"). In addition, this is to confirm that the experiment is not a market study and will not involve the operation of units by members of the general public. All devices will work as standalone units and not as a network. 3. Additional Technical Specifications (A) Emissions — SRD will use emissions which comply with the emissions mask and formulas in the FCC approved ASTM—DSRC Standard for Class B or Class C devices. (B) The maximum center height of DSRC Antenna mounted on light vehicles will not exceed 2m above ground and for commercial vehicles they will not exceed 4m above ground. Additional test equipment will use antennas that do not excess 6m. OBUs and test equipment will be mounted on a lower level as the antennas. (C) Most tests will be conducted with about 3—5 cars equipped with up to three OBUs, (e.g., 15 DSRC devices). Complex driving situations for the validation of advanced driving assistance functions will need tests up to 20 cars equipped with up to 3 OBUs. Worst case channel load test will need up to 200 devices. The number of tests with these different numbers

of active DSRC devices have a ratio of roughly 100:10:1. The reason to equip a single car with more than one OBU is that an independent monitoring device is needed and in some cases new versions of devices need to be tested against old versions. 4. Request for Waiver of Station ID Requirements Waiver of the Station ID rules set forth at Section 5.115 is respectfully requested. 5. Coverage The experiment will continue to involve testing at the 6 SRD laboratory locations specified on the application, consistent with the prior granted STA under call sign WJIXPB. SRD is expecting to develop systems for use under different road conditions and environmental conditions and to demonstrate system capabilities to car manufactures. On—site demonstrations at these locations are particularly helpful to gain familiarity with equipment compatibility, functionality on their systems, and the range of potential uses which they can serve. To gain optimal system response even in rare driving situations test driving in these varied geographic regions and operating conditions (cities, mountains, desert, plain land, etc.) is necessary. 6. Interference Mitigation SRD is well aware of its obligations under Part 5 of the Commission‘s rules to avoid interference to co—channel licensees in non—experimental services, and will take all steps to ensure compliance with this obligation. With respect to interference mitigation, SRD notes as follows: — Authority is requested for only limited and sporadic transmit operation of the facilities. Specifically, operation of the facilities will be sporadic, not continuous. The minimum distance between two transmissions will not be smaller than 90ms, the duration of a single transmission will not be longer than 1.5 ms — The devices will comply to FCC class B or class C masks — The device will comply to IEEE 802.11p, so Collision Avoidance will be implemented in the devices

7. Stop Buzzer SRD advises that the following will be available by wireless telephone and will act as a "stop buzzer"if any issues regarding interference arise during testing: Michael Gillum Work: 734—827—3 154 Mobile: (419) 672—9066 For the foregoing reasons, SRD respectfully submits that approval of this Application is in the public interest, convenience and a necessity.
