5G for Transportation | 5G Magazine

The future of transportation will be connected, autonomous, electric, and shared. But for autonomous vehicles to become a reality, they need to communicate with one another (V2V), communicate with people (V2P), communicate with the smart city infrastructure (V2I), and communicate with the network (V2N) – in real-time and in a reliable manner. 5G and multi-access edge computing technologies bring ultra-low latency, high reliability, high capacity, and higher device connectivity, prerequisites for autonomous vehicles.

Smart transportation with each stage of autonomous driving will substantially improve safety and traffic efficiency and reduce cost and save time for all. Although we are still a long way from having completely autonomous vehicles (Level 5 – complete autonomy as defined by SAE), real-time and reliable connectivity is necessary for moving from our current level (we are on the cusp of level 3) of autonomous driving to the next. The key challenges that the industry faces beyond the technological challenges include regulation, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and business models.
