The impact of 5G on the roads
Nov 26. 2019Cars and trucks have become exponentially more tech-enabled throughout the years. From the genesis of "self-driving mode" to the increased production of semi-autonomous and electric-hybrid vehicles, our roads and highways are filled with wireless computer technology. As electric cars and self-driving cars are becoming more mainstream, what does this mean for modern day transportation? On this episode of Recalibrate, RG Nets CTO Dr. Lok and Samsung B2B Mobile Marketing's Reid Estreicher break down how a hack of a BMW i3 transformed it into a self-driving car and how 5G on the roads can help eliminate traffic jams in the future by learning information about cars and traffic from miles away.
Guests:
Dr. Simon Lok - Samsung Electronics America, CTO, RG Nets, Inc.
Reid Estreicher - Senior Manager, B2B Mobile Marketing, Samsung Electronics America
