Intel has always been committed to working with industry players to transform ideas into reality. From the data center and cloud to the edge, Intel researchers and technologists work with OEMs, standards bodies, ISVs, and others. One area of intense interest at Intel is the emerging 5G network and how it will empower connected vehicles (CV) and augment autonomous driving (AD) applications.

Each of these topics has immense business and social potential. For example, while 5G is not yet released commercially, according to market research firm Ovum, by 2021 there will be 24 million 5G subscriptions for wireless services in place.¹ CV can help reduce traffic congestion, improve safety, and provide new value-add user experiences. Studies have already shown that advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) technologies, like automatic emergency braking, lane keeping support, and traffic sign recognition can reduce fatal accidents by 30 percent (Intel’s recently acquired Mobileye technology is already in over 24 million vehicles).
