e the latest advances toward AVs. We looked at specific examples such as platooning. We saw how in the context of V2X communication, 5G network slicing can be used to create dedicated and optimized slices for V2X communication to meet the specific requirements of connected vehicles. Network slicing can support different slices for different types of V2X communication, such as V2V, V2I, and V2P. Next, let us see how cloud computing enables V2X. Cloud computing for V2X Next, let us look at how cloud computing is becoming a key technological enabler. Figure 14.18 demonstrates the emerging role of CSPs in the C-V2X space: 5G and Autonomous Vehicles Vehicular Cloud Cloud Service Provider Road Side Unit Vehicular Cloud Road Side Unit Vehicular Cloud Figure 14.18 - V2V and V2I enabled by CSP CSPs are building a vehicular cloud to support C-V2X applications. Besides traffic-related applications, the adoption of in-vehicle mobile commerce, powered by 5G, will create new sources of revenue for different stakeholders in the C-V2X ecosystem (https://www.forbes.com/sites/ googlecloud/2021/11/01/car-talk-how-5g-mobile-and-cloud-are- - transforming-the-automobile/).Infotainment system in the cars will get a facelift with 5G; electric cars such as Tesla support 5G today (https://www.tesla.com/support/ infotainment). Summary In this chapter, we learned about the convergence of 5G and AVs. We looked at the different levels of AVs. We then looked at how V2X communication is key for AVs. We looked at C-V2X and how 5G is an integral part of it. We looked at intelligent applications such as the platooning of trucks, which utilizes C-V2X. Overall, this chapter covered the foundations of AVs and their detailed architecture. We looked at the intercommunications of AVs. Finally, we looked at the emerging applications built on top of V2V capabilities. In Chapter 15, we will cover 5G fixed-mobile convergence. This capability allows for the seamless use of 5G communication wirelessly or over wire. 5G Fixed Mobile Convergence This chapter wil
