"5G will turn the cars, essentially, into the ultimate mobile device," Scott Nash, the director of automotive solutions at Verizon Business, told Lifewire in an email interview. "Its incredible speed and bandwidth are perfect for handling massive amounts of data and information being collected and produced while on the road." One significant benefit of 5G is that it could make self-driving cars safer, Nir Kshetri, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro who studies emerging technologies, told Lifewire in an email interview.

For the autonomous vehicles industry, high latency is a concern with 4G LTE networks.&nbsp; The higher data rates and lower delays (latency) enabled by 5G allows communication of rich sensor data as well as real-time control between cars for greater safety and visibility. &#34;In order to maintain awareness of the surroundings and safely steer through traffic with vehicle-to-everything communications, autonomous vehicles need a one milliseconds (MS) latency,&#34; Kshetri added.

&#34;With 5G networks, an autonomous car will be able to hit the brakes and stop it within 1 inch, compared to 4 to 6 feet it takes with 4G.&#34; Online mapping systems could soon work better than current solutions thanks to built-in 5G for cars. Current navigation systems use maps that may be updated every few months, Siansky said.

Many modern cars already have a limited ability to diagnose problems, but the faster 5G connections will help make fixes a more automated process, experts say. "This is where drivers will experience impressive benefits, especially during the dreaded 'breakdown while driving' scenario," technology analyst Vaclav Vincalek told Lifewire in an email.&nbsp; 5G-MOBIX &#34;In this case, an autonomous vehicle can immediately contact the dealership or perhaps a very advanced mechanic&#39;s shop. From there, the shop has access to all the vehicle&#39;s data and can diagnose the issue.&#34; If your car problems are software-related, soon, you might not even have to take your auto into the shop to get it fixed.

Over-the-Air updates (OTAs) are becoming the standard process with which automobiles will send and receive vehicle software updates to fix problems and deliver new features, and 5G will strengthen that service, Jillian Goldberg, the vice president of marketing and investor relations at the automotive technology company GuardKnox, said in an email.&nbsp; &#34;There has already been a large rollout of the OTAs across many auto companies, including Ford and Toyota, and 5G will improve the quality of service and the connection,&#34; she added. &#34;Furthermore, 5G will remove the necessity for the automobile to be hooked up to a Wi-Fi port, thus allowing remote vehicle diagnostics, repairs, updates, and new feature downloads—all from the road.&#34; Was this page helpful?
