5G enables precision road weather services, provides robot cars with the ability to hear

The 5G-Safe project, which aims to reduce traffic accidents, is currently being coordinated in Europe. This involves the development of new vehicular network solutions and the local road weather and safety services they enable, in support of drivers, road operators and autonomous vehicle management systems. The new services will require no action from motorists while driving — data will be gathered and warnings will be sent to users automatically.
