Autonomous cars not only know what is going on within their own systems but also have increasing awareness to see through the obstacles around corners and beyond to make decisions.

By using V2I technology (Vehicle to Infrastructure), connected cars will heavily depend on 4G/5G mobile networks to learn about surroundings. For example; with 3GPP Release 14, the evolution of cellular vehicle communication took a significant step forward. These standards are on newly developed to direct Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2X) communication.

V2V Communicate directly with other cars and share their current position and critical alerts in event of accidents.

V2I enables communication between cars and road infrastructure. For example, cars lights and traffic lights can communicate to avoid traffic jams.

V2I enables communication between vehicle and driver’s smart home. The smart home can turn on heating before car arrival. Saving energy costs.
