5G and autonomous vehicles: Turning fiction into reality
Remember the TV show Knight Rider from the ’80’s? Where the futuristic car, K.I.T.T, would safely autopilot David Hasselhoff’s Michael Knight through the city back to home base? At the time the show was the stuff of fiction, which in order to enjoy required a healthy dose of suspended disbelief.
But today, the idea of an autonomous vehicle (AV) that drives us efficiently and safely from origin to destination is less a question of whether than one of when. (Minus the rocket launchers.)
