This Finnish Robo-Car Helps Test 5G Networks for Autonomous Driving

Nokia and the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland are collaborating together to discover how 5G networks can transmit information to and from vehicles while on the road. They are going to test the power of 5G when used in combination with VTT’s robot car, called Martti.

The research is part of the 5G-SAFE project, that sees researchers examine what kind of road safety services 5G will enable for supporting autonomous driving. Examples might include road condition and real-time incident information. "One of the solutions being tested now in the project is a Nokia 5G connectivity in Martti, which allows the car to send its observations to a server for analysis across a low latency 5G link. The data can be used to adapt the car’s behaviour according to actual road weather conditions", explains Matti Kutila from VTT’s RobotCar Crew team. 5G may enable advanced communication

Data is collected from […]
