With the advent of Jio into Indian market, 4G communication has spread widely into India. Other than mobile industry, 4G has spread its branches into many other sectors but with limited scope. And the technology is advancing with great pace. The entire communication industry is getting ready for the next generation of communication - 5G. However, the 5G communication will be rolled out by 2020. On the other hand, the tech giants like Google and Apple stepping into automotive industry for a smart automotive industry. Covering these two trending contexts, this article speaks about the influence of 5G communication on the automotive industry.
A research by Qualcomm has uncovered startling statistics about 5G. In 2035, 5G will be able to generate a revenue of $12.3 trillion in the sector of goods and services. In case of jobs, 5G value chain alone can provide 22 million jobs.
5G through technology PoV:
Though autonomous vehicles rely upon Artificial Intelligence, communication and connectivity is the key aspect. When the concept of autonomous vehicles become absolute reality, communication between machines/vehicles become mandatory. In this context, to serve the purpose of being autonomous, vehicles should communicate with huge data, which fails 3G or 4G supporting the communication. Hence, 5G could only come into rescue, as it is capable of providing tens of giga bytes of speed for tens of thousands of devices.
Connected devices and Internet of Things are advancing quickly. Hence, every device needs to connect/communicate with every other device. 5G is exactly devised to serve this purpose with the protocol called V2X (Vehicle to everything). This protocol covers connectivity to other vehicles with the protocol V2V, to pedestrians with the protocol V2P, to the networks with the protocol V2N and to the surrounding infrastructure with V2I protocol.
5G influence on environment:
As 5G works with V2X protocol, every device is connected to every other device, in turn, if one of these devices is connected to the internet, then, this forms a smart, connected and automotive network, which is simply, IoT for autonomous vehicles. As a result, the efficiency of the automobile can be improved along with the experience of the consumer. Also, this kind of connected autonomous vehicles avoid collisions, reduces air pollution nearly by 20%, avoid congestion and many more.
5G in terms of revenue:
As mentioned earlier, 5G communication technology is capable of generating a revenue of $12.3 trillion dollars by 2035. In terms of sales, 5G facilitates sales that generates a revenue of $1.4 trillion dollars in the sectors where automobiles can be used - transport, agriculture, mining and construction sectors.
5G in daily life:
We all might have read a fascinating statement - "The internet speed of NASA is 91Gbps". Literally, NASA might have spent billions of dollars to achieve such data rate. In comparison, with 5G, we will be connected to the internet with tens of giga bytes data rate. Practically, the numbers may differ but ultimately, data rate will be much faster with 5G.

With the increased need of communication, the current communication technologies 3G and 4G may not serve the purpose. On the other hand, when huge number of devices are connected to the internet, it very complex to provide data security to the user. Hence, 5G serves both the need of higher data rates and added data security.
