When autonomous vehicles connect to the Internet of Things, our highways and transportation ecosystems will transform as driverless cars begin to communicate, analyze, and operate on their own.
Autotrader reports that the automotive market already boasts several semi-autonomous driving systems, and while there’s plenty of work ahead before fully autonomous cars go mainstream, next-gen connectivity poses big possibilities. High-speed, low-latency, and ultra-reliable mobile networks are likely cornerstones of a thriving transportation ecosystem—expected to quickly deliver data to driverless vehicles in order to prevent accidents, improve safety, boost efficiency, and more.
