Wireless communication technologies play a crucial role in public transport systems, particularly in the implementation of future intelligent transport systems on roads. The 5G network is expected to be the primary tool for autonomous vehicles to exchange data. This is reported by Autocar.co.uk reports .
However, new research conducted by scientists at the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh has revealed an unexpected problem. It turns out that even the most advanced 5G technology can face interruptions under certain conditions.
According to the study, pedestrians, other vehicles, and even moving objects on the road have the potential to block wireless signals for a few seconds. This could pose a serious obstacle to the safe operation of self-driving cars.
Experts are concerned that such short-term signal blocking in heavy traffic conditions could affect the system's decision-making speed. Further work is needed to resolve these technical issues for the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles in the future.
