A number of 5GAA members announced ground breaking use cases at this year’s MWC. 5GAA members Telefónica, Ericsson, Ficosa and Seat showed 5G connected car use cases supported by C-V2X direct communication for safer driving in a city, like detection of cyclists when turning right or of a pedestrian at a zebra crossing.
Another key technology bringing these use cases to life is edge computing.
In addition, 5GAA members Continental and Vodafone are working together to increase road safety and protect road users via a “digital safety-shield” for cyclists and pedestrians, using C-V2X direct communication and edge computing in the first 5G deployments. The 5G-ready tests are taking place under real-life conditions at Vodafone’s 5G Mobility Lab in Aldenhoven, Germany.
Rohde & Schwarz announced a collaboration with automotive electronics specialist Vector on a C-V2X end-to-end application layer test solution to verify safety-critical V2X scenarios. The companies’ integrated test platform was showcased for the first time at Mobile World Congress.
Deutsche Telekom announced itsfirst C-V2X tests together with Skoda Auto in Czech as part of the European C-Roads project.
Geely announced its plans to launch the first mass-produced C-V2X enabled vehicles in China together with Qualcomm in 2021.
Qualcomm also announced its first 5G automotive platform, enabling both C-V2X short and long-range modes, which is expected to sample later this year and are planned for production vehicles in 2021.
