These above technologies implemented through 5G could help communicate with the road infrastructure technology in real-time to avoid traffic jams and make way for vehicles in an emergency.

According to Gartner actively 5G-enabled cars will grow from 15 per cent in 2020 to 74 per cent in 2023, and to 94 per cent in 2028. In fact, the automotive industry will become the largest market for 5G IoT solutions as it will be representing more than 53 per cent of the overall 5G IoT endpoint opportunity.
