A European university is testing 5G for self-driving vehicles
The University of Warwick, in collaboration with National Instruments (NI), has installed and will be testing Europe’s first over-the-air 5G New Radio test user equipment. Using equipment provided by NI, the tests will be conducted on the university’s Midlands Future Mobility (MFM) testbed and will involve connected autonomous vehicles using 5G connectivity to share sensor data with each other and to communicate with roadside infrastructure.
