5G is spearheading the digital transformation, promising to deliver better connectivity and reliability. Many industries are set to benefit in different ways – from agriculture to warehouses and smart cities. Another industry that can make the most of the capabilities of 5G is connected autonomous vehicles. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Autonomous cars are set to shape our roads – making them safer and far more efficient for drivers and passengers. These smart cars are set to decrease the risk of accidents, improve traffic efficiency and offer great convenience for passengers. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The combination of 5G and autonomous vehicles opens up even more opportunities, promising to strengthen the capabilities of self-driving cars. Let’s take a look at the future of autonomous vehicles as 5G is rolled out globally.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How is 5G used in autonomous vehicles? <\/h2>\n

Wireless communications create an ecosystem of advanced technologies like sensors, high speed-information systems and networks that enable things like vehicle-to-vehicle communication, or vehicle-to-network communication. <\/p>\n

5G can act as a foundation for autonomous car networks, helping to keep vehicles, infrastructure, drivers and pedestrians connected. Autonomous cars then utilise the high-speed 5G network, low latency and capacity to carry large amounts of data to become smarter and more efficient. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are plenty of use cases for 5G in autonomous vehicles. One example is connecting public transport<\/a> with facilities. Sensors can be used on a 5G connection to transmit location data and other diagnostics that provide passengers with real-time updates about their service. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another example is emergency response. Connected networks can be used to enable communication between vehicles and infrastructure. Information can be communicated with the vehicle such as traffic conditions, which will help commuters avoid traffic congestion and enable faster, more efficient travel. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5G and vehicle networking<\/h2>\n

Wireless communication technologies deliver the benefits of 5G through different methods. Let’s take a look at the main methods below. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication (V2V)<\/h3>\n

Autonomous vehicles directly communicate with each other, sharing information about traffic conditions, collision warnings, and road conditions. For example, using V2V, vehicles can be connected in a convoy. The first car can pass alerts onto following cars about hazards, so they can slow down or take an alternate route. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) <\/h3>\n

This form of communication sees vehicles connected to infrastructure like traffic lights, road signs and street lights to share information about traffic conditions. It can also be used to communicate weather warnings and clearance levels of bridges. V2I transmits data alerts to drivers so they can be warned about dangers ahead on the road. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)<\/h3>\n

V2X encompasses all connections like both V2V and V2I. V2X technology makes every vehicle on the road smarter by enabling communication with all other networks. V2X can also be used to improve convenience by automating payments for tolls and parking. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While V2V, V2I and V2X are considered to be the main forms of vehicle communication, others do exist. These innovations include: <\/p>\n
