Connected cars are coming
Summary
“The streets are just too dangerous,” says Munich based consultant and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE) graduate Julian Schneider. Google’s sister company Waymo racked up valuable test miles before the international competition and is still considered the benchmark for autonomous driving. Even though the pioneers come from different regions, Germany passed the first comprehensive law on autonomous driving up to Level 4 in July 2021, allowing fleets of robotaxis to operate on German roads. Radio communication testers such as the R&S CMX500 can simulate wireless networks with all their functions, measure and evaluate user equipment performance and allow customers to test any 5G application in the lab. Being able to run such tests is hugely important for C-ITS development, because systems will need automatic processes that cover an enormous range of traffic situations.
