5G -- how improved connectivity will improve road and driver safety Lexology

Years ago, saying that improving telecommunication networks would improve road safety would attract some very strange looks -- surely, this would mean that drivers are more distracted and less focused on the road? The situation these days, however, is quite different -- 5G and road safety might just be the unlikeliest of friends. I recently attended an IP Seminar hosted by Volvo Cars, where connectivity and data were mentioned extensively. Connectivity in vehicles is one of the fastest-growing areas of technology. The proliferation of the 5G network will enable the realisation of technologies which are sure to improve road safety and lead to improved driving.
