for a stationary vehicle or one moving on the road. These ADAS capabilities are enabled by a combination of sensing technologies based on radar, LIDAR, cameras, and ultrasound. Purpose-built semiconductor chips, SOCs, and electronics hardware are being developed to support these activities. Next, let us look at the role of 5G here. V2X and 5G The ability of 5G to communicate with low latency is vital for these vehicle technologies. 5G networks benefit from features such as Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) and network slicing. This allows 5G to provide latency about five times lower than 4G networks. Bodies such as the 5GAA are driving the cross-sector consensus to enhance traffic safety and efficiency in the transportation system for AVs. The 5GAA is fostering the convergence of autonomous driving and mobile networks to help drive standardization. 5G acts as the vital glue between vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, ADAS, and AVs. The image and sound data collected by sensing the environment and communicated between vehicles goes through machine learning tasks (see https // embeddedcomput ing.com/application/networking-5g/5g-is-paving-the- way for-autonomous-cars for more details). The use of low bands such as 600 MHz for 5G can help connect vehicles as they move to remote areas away from city centers. This is a big advantage for SOS-type calls over 5G requests for assistance in emergencies made by drivers. On the other hand, high bands, using the millimeter wave frequencies (24 GHz to 100 GHz), can provide high bandwidth and a higher level of user experience for both drivers and passengers in these areas of coverage. High bands can support as much as a 10 Gbps data rate over 5G. AV intercommunication Panasonic Connect Co. is also working with the city of Yokohama, Japan, to build out the preceding concept. In the next section, we will investigate the role of network slicing in V2X. Network slicing and V2X As discussed in the prior chapter, network slicing helps to create virtual networks or "slices" within a 5G net
