4 The Future of Automotive Emerging vehicular networking applications, such as V2X, and use cases will need stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements in terms of latency, data rate, reliability, and communication range. Technologies often used in ultimately developing an autonomous vehicle center around three types of sensors: Camera, radar, and LiDAR. However, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), another existing wireless technology, can significantly add value to autonomous vehicles. V2X refers to high bandwidth, low latency, reliable communication between a broad range of transport and traffic-related sensors. 5G mobile networks will provide connectivity for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to- infrastructure (V2I) communications. The automotive front-end module (FEM) will be one of the most important enabling solutions in next-generation technology, leading to the overall success of Cellular-V2X (C-V2X). In the following, we will discuss how the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) intends to use 5G in V2X applications with significant advantages over current dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) or other Cellular-V2X (C-V2X) proposals. A Technology Evolution is Coming Future Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) services are widely accepted from a communication technology perspective. This will ultimately lead to autonomous driving and require a high level of connectivity in vehicles via advanced communication technology such as 5G V2X. After many years of research driven by academia and industry and the delivery of mature technology enablers for 5G, 3GPP is drafting the standard for 5G V2X, starting with Release 16. Let's first look at the definition of V2X. This vehicle-to- everything technology is a two-way communication that enables the transmission of information between an automotive or electric vehicle and any surrounding entity that might affect that vehicle. V2X applications will have a significant impact on safety and convenience well before full autonomy becomes a reality by enabling less gridlock, reducing environmental impact, and adding more vehicle comforts for drivers and passengers. 5G, coupled with V2X, will enhance vehicle and pedestrian safety. Added capabilities include vehicle notification and control for approaching emergency vehicles with distance/ direction information, pedestrians crossing in a crosswalk (traffic lights/signals will be controlled or extended for safety and during unexpected events, and identification) and avoidance of pedestrians darting into traffic. Notification of its location and distance will be sent when an accident is near. Things such as school bus notifications, including unloading/loading school children in the area, will keep pedestrians safe.
