5G’s big role in driving expansion of autonomous vehicles

Fifth-generation cellular network technology, better known as 5G, is likely to play a major role in whether self-driving vehicles truly gain traction on a large scale. IT research and advisory firm Gartner Inc. predicts that by 2025, autonomous vehicles will upload more than 1 terabyte of vehicle and sensor data per month to the cloud, up from 30 gigabytes of data from advanced connected cars in 2018.
