Fremont, CA: The continually evolving technology and growth in the manufacturing industry have led to the automobile industry witnessing significant changes over the last few years. Today's cars are driverless and run on electricity, owing to the global awareness of climate change. There is an abundance of innovation in technology, and each one ousts its predecessor. One such technology is 5G, which has been making headlines even before complete implementation. The advent of 5G, although related to the telecom sector, is expected to bring about significant changes to the driving scenario, with a focus on the user-centric experience. With the rapid processing of massive volumes of data, 5G could hold the key to the next level of the connected car. Secure interconnectivity enhances the connected car's ability to interact with its surroundings, both in and outside the vehicle.

A majority of vehicles today include collision avoidance features when they roll out of the factory itself. While the technology in itself is quite advanced, its integration with the 5G network enhances the functioning even further. 5G accelerates the reliable exchange of data between car, infrastructure, and environment. The cellular technology is low on latency rates and can be trusted to transmit large packets of data in as less as ten milliseconds. These packets of data are then processed by algorithms that interpret the surroundings of the car and determine an appropriate response with almost no delay. This will also help to improve the overall cooperative driver to car experience as drivers can count on more reliable assistance with routine maneuvers like lane changing, and also handling of unexpected obstructions.
Enhanced in Car Monitoring
Connected cars monitor not just the outside surroundings, but also the environment inside the car. 5G connectivity supercharges the external car sensors, and also the responsiveness of in-car monitoring components. By tracking the environment within the vehicle, these monitoring devices help correct possible distractions to the driver. 5G's lack of latency enables immediate responses to situations like driver falling asleep or seat positions that limit visibility or the ability to react, improving the overall response to unprecedented scenarios.
Cars becoming Mobile Offices
Increased connectivity and networking also improves the functions a vehicle can perform. 5G enhances not only the inbuilt features of a vehicle but also the user experience. Connected cars will not just be safer but also offer a better experience. 5G's real-time connectivity, coupled with autonomous driving experience, transforms the connected car into a collaborative, shared space. These vehicles can literally be used as mobile offices, or living room styled spaces.
Without a doubt, the connected car will become safer and highly reliable with the advent of 5G by providing nearly immediate responses to both internal and external threats. At the same time, telecom technology also improves the in-car experience for both driver and co-passengers by inducing new levels of entertainment and productivity.
