[5G ride]

Today, self-driving vehicles cannot cope with all situations they encounter along a route. That forces the self-driving vehicles to stop, for security reasons, in situations that are hard to manage by the vehicle itself. With a connected self-driving vehicle, via 5G, the control tower can gather real-time information and provide necessary information and give commandos in the form of various actions to the vehicle. This results in a safer journey and makes the traffic-flow smoother and more efficient. The 5G Ride project is a collaboration between several companies that are at the forefront of their industries. In 2020, various tests were performed with a self-driving vehicle, connected to a control tower via 5G. As 5G provides new opportunities to send real-time information, a Control Tower could provide driverless vehicles with support for both increased safety and a more efficient traffic flow. The tests included communication between the self-driving vehicle and the control tower in critical situations, cybersecurity, network stability among other things.
