5G STEERING THE FUTURE OF CONNECTED CARS

19 January 2024



The concept of connected vehicles has been around for decades. As technology
evolved and the automotive industry ventured into vehicular connectivity, it
produced cars with the ability to display traffic updates and status information
on location, fuel levels, security alarms and service history.





With time cars started to use cellular networks for real-time navigation,
enhanced infotainment and access to emergency services. Market expectations
accordingly changed. Customers increasingly started to perceive automobiles as
an extension of their mobile device. Today, in-car connectivity is an important
consideration along with a vehicle’s aesthetics, engineering and performance.
However, in most cases, the network-based connectivity has been limited to the
original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Each vehicle is connected to the
backend of the respective car producers and not to the greater vehicular
ecosystem.





Hence it is necessary to widen the perspective of connectivity to enable a
cooperative intelligent transportation system comprising all road users. Cars
cannot merely just connect to the cellular network on a best effort basis. They
need to be intelligent, intuitive and communicate at a guaranteed level of
service, ensuring new standards in safety, efficiency and convenience.






FROM 4G TO 5G



Modern cars come with 4G connectivity, supporting cloud-based telematics,
infotainment and a host of other services. Some OEMs already use mobile networks
to caution cars about congested roads, broken down vehicles, accidents or
adverse weather. Taking it one step further, new initiatives to exchange
advisories between vehicles of different manufacturers are currently in
progress.





A major milestone in road safety was achieved after the 3GPP Rel14 standards
defined an LTE-based unified Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything orC-V2X technology.
It facilitates direct communication between vehicles (V2V), vehicles and road
infrastructure (V2I), vehicle-to pedestrian (V2P) and vehicle-to-network (V2N),
using existing infrastructure.  C-V2X is being widely adopted by global
policymakers and regulators, whose stated goal is zero road fatalities by
2050. A 5G C-V2X is in the works as well.





Industry experts also understood that the rapidly growing volumes of sensor and
other forms of data exchanged between vehicles cannot be processed in a central
location and needs to be executed locally. The answer lies in the Edge cloud, a
4G technology that will further develop in 5G. Distributed computing not only
augments the reliability and security of network services for connected cars and
reduces the latency for C-V2X services, but it brings to the fore new
applications, too.






THE 5G BOOST 



Vehicles with embedded connectivity have presented drivers and passengers with
novel features and services. Nevertheless, the real gamechanger will be 5G with
its dazzling speeds, ultra-low latency and massive bandwidth. Backed by the
latest advancements in Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial
intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), it will introduce innovative use
cases that will redefine on-road driving.








5G PAVES THE FUTURE FOR CONNECTED VEHICLES



All-pervasive 5G networks with superior throughput, reliability and availability
will change the very way vehicles are designed, built and operated. The effects
will be unique and wide-ranging.

- Ubiquitous connectivity: One of the most welcoming attributes of 5G will be
its omnipresent connectivity, allowing for sustained high-quality internet
access for work and leisure. It will support remote diagnostics and over-the-air
software updates, track performance and service schedules.

- Robust safety and security: 5G will enable real-time communication between
vehicles, infrastructure, pedestrians and other road users, creating a
cooperative, intelligent transport system (C-ITS) that can prevent accidents,
reduce congestion and optimize traffic flow. Vehicles can share information
about their location, speed, direction and braking status with each other and
with traffic lights, signs and cameras, alerting drivers or autonomous systems
of potential hazards.

- First-rate entertainment and productivity: Passengers will have at their
fingertips high-quality infotainment services, such as streaming video, music
and gaming, combined with access to cloud-based applications and data. They can
enjoy immersive virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) experiences, or
work on their laptops or tablets with seamless connectivity. Personalized and
contextualized services, such as smart navigation, parking assistance and
vehicle-to-home integration will offer exceptional convenience and comfort to
drivers and passengers.

- Improved efficiency and sustainability: 5G will encourage the adoption of
electric vehicles and smart charging solutions, reducing the impact cars have on
the environment. For instance, it can provide real-time information on battery
status, range, charging stations and optimal routes and allow wireless power
transfer and vehicle-to-grid integration. 5G can support platooning, which is
the formation of groups of vehicles that travel closely together at coordinated
speeds, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

- Mainstream autonomous driving: Self-driving cars is the future and 5G will be
a key enabler, providing the ultra-reliable and low-latency communication that
is essential for vehicles to sense their environment, communicate with other
vehicles and infrastructure, and make AI-based decisions. It will even support
massive connectivity of sensors and devices, creating a network of intelligence
that elevates safety and efficiency and ultimately user experience.

- Smart city integration: 5G will promote the setting up of smart cities by
bringing together a plethora of connectivity touchpoints including connected
cars. It will aid in the smooth integration of vehicles with road signs, traffic
signals, parking lots and other urban mobility infrastructure.

- Service monetization: The growing number of software-defined vehicles on the
road opens possibilities for OEMs to come up with new revenue streams such as
subscription-based or on-demand “as-a-service” through which a car’s features
can be updated or upgraded with regular software releases.

Apart from the benefits that 5G will bring to connected cars, it is equally
important to appreciate other measures that will make the smart mobility on
roads a reality. For instance, the 5G Open Road program in Europe seeks to
assist the plying of connected autonomous vehicles on roads open to traffic. It
is a collaborative project funded by the French government combining sixteen
major players in the mobility space - private and public partners,
subcontractors, and academics - representing all the required segments like
vehicles, roadside units, IT & telecoms and services.

These actors have signed a three-year cooperation agreement to create one of the
largest connected and automated vehicles projects in Europe. Coordinated by the
PFA (Automotive Platform) and Nokia, 5G Open Road is being trialled on the
Saclay plateau and in the Versailles Grand Parc urban community (Île de France).
The objective of the program would be to explore the benefits of 5G for road
safety and the emergence of connected mobility services.


THE ROAD AHEAD

The automotive industry is undergoing radical changes due to digitalization with
5G being the major disruptor. It’s capacity to reshape the very foundations of
vehicular transportation will be profound. As time progresses the 5G footprint
is bound to expand making autonomous vehicles the new normal and taking
efficiency, comfort and safety to new heights. To make the connected car a part
of our everyday lives, it is crucial for the automotive and telecommunications
industries to join forces. From telecommunication service providers,
telecommunication equipment manufacturers to car manufacturers and their
suppliers, map providers and road operators, everyone needs to be involved.

To kickstart this ecosystem, the leading car manufacturers and
telecommunications companies - including Nokia - founded the 5G Automotive
Association (5GAA) in 2016. Its 120-plus members aim to bring automotive and
telecommunications together to harmonize and accelerate the introduction of
intelligent transport and communication solutions on our roads. Driver demands
and technology trends are pushing connected cars to reach their full market
potential. The automobile and ICT sectors are striving create new and attractive
consumer experiences and the underlying technology that will make it all work is
5G.
