Unveiling the Futuristic Trends of 5G Connected Cars in the Automotive Industry

Abstract

The concept of “vehicle to everything” has completely revolutionized the maker’s and user’s experience. The whirlwind of disruptions is buffeting the automotive world, creating a huge value-chain disconnect. The amalgamation of advanced in-vehicle capabilities and cellular network data services leverages innovations in the automotive sector. The introduction of connected vehicles is expected to change user-vehicle interaction and communication with the world around them. Several countries have initiated the 5G trials, with the results being under evaluation. The rapid increase in enhanced user experience and affordability for various services are increasingly impacting the adoption of various innovative solutions. The advent of this state-of-the-art technology is not only a generational step, but the possibility of opening several opportunities for the industries. The article focuses on the evolution of 5G services and their impact on the global economy. The development of 5G is expected to bolster digitalization trends, significantly impacting the automotive industry, particularly connected cars. The paper discusses the impact of the revolutionary 5G technology on future mobility and reviews the use cases of 5G in the automotive sector. Further, other major areas of study emphasize on the market determinant analysis (trends, drivers, and challenges) of 5G services in the automotive sector.
