5g Mobile Connectivity will speed up the Global Transition to Autonomous Vehicles

Earth right now is in the beginning stages of a radical shift, where us unreliable, distracted money loving human drivers are going to be replaced by artificial intelligence algorithms, that never need to rest and will work for free. This global transition to Driverless Vehicles is going to advance much faster than most people realize, spurred on by tech and auto companies ferociously competing against each other, and also given a huge helping hand by the rapidly approaching fifth generation of cellular mobile communications, also known as 5G. The dramatic increase in the speed of data will also pave the way for a whole new generation of features and methods for businesses to make money. These will include targeted in-car ads based on information relayed back to tech and automakers from the onboard sensors and vehicle analytics, greatly improved 3d Mapping capabilities, as well as crowd-sourced reporting on the road conditions and better real-time analysis on the vehicles performance. Right now there is massive infrastructure development underway by leading Telecom players such as Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T, who are racing to implement the new generation of 5g services in places like Dallas, Houston, L.A and New York, which will begin initially with broadband capability by the end of this year, followed by the mobile version in 2019.
