Autonomous driving technology is inseparable from 5G. What role does 5G play in autonomous driving?

With the advent of 5G technology, many industries have been changed, and 5G technology has also become a hot topic. The automotive industry is experiencing exponential growth in autonomous driving functions. Major car companies and technology companies have also successively joined in deeper research and development of autonomous driving technology. Why is autonomous driving technology inseparable from 5G?

In order to realize automatic driving of cars, the technology of the vehicle itself needs to be combined with the road and other aspects of the vehicle to realize the driving of the vehicle. However, to achieve this goal, the most important link is undoubtedly the support of network technology. According to the characteristics of 5G technology, the performance of 5G network is high data rate, reduced latency and even increased system capacity and large-scale device connection. It is precisely with 5G technology that there is a better guarantee for automatic driving technology.

The technology of autonomous driving is relatively dependent on the network, and requires fast data rates to transmit information about road conditions such as where the vehicle is, etc. The current 4G network speed cannot support the application of safer and smarter autonomous vehicles. From the perspective of autonomous driving technology, autonomous vehicles mainly rely on a large amount of data generated by hundreds of sensors built into the vehicle. These sensors continuously receive and feedback surrounding information, and then integrate the information data. Autonomous driving vehicles, however, are very challenging in terms of their ability to judge and execute in complex traffic environments.

After transmission, the data is accurately processed to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle. In the field of autonomous driving, which has a huge amount of data processing and storage, its importance is self-evident. There is no doubt that with the support of 5G network technology, autonomous driving technology will become more mature.
