The features of 5G technology, such as low latency and edge computing (a technology which simplifies IoT device traffic and permits real-time local data analysis), will facilitate communication between cars, infrastructure and other travelling vehicles.
The pilot project will cover both safety while driving and aspects related to infotainment through the downloading of high-definition entertainment content.
