European Union leaders will announce the bill next month, pending input from member states before implementing it next year, Reuters reported on Friday. The decision is very important for automakers and telecommunications operators and equipment makers because the internet-connected car market is expected to make billions of euros per year of money.
Currently, several connected car models are available in Europe. Policy makers in Blue Continent rushed to make rules that encourage cooperation between producers to produce safer and more efficient cars through these regulations.
The presence of legal protection and technical specifications that become standard on 5G connected cars not only benefits manufacturers, but also convinces consumers to buy the new technology vehicle. The draft rule obtained by Reuters is claimed to open the way for cars that are equipped with Wi-Fi called ITS-G5 to start working in Europe next year.
The regulator will review the rule three years after the implementation process takes into account the new technology used. If Europe decides to use ITS-G5 technology, the rival 5G technology called C-V2X takes months, even years, to get approval from the European Union.
Nevertheless, car manufacturers that already use C-V2X hope the approval process can be achieved in a shorter period of time. Volkswagen, Renault, NXP, Autotalks, and Kapsch TrafficCom are groups that drive ITS-G5 technology.
According to them, ITS-G5 has been properly tested and fully compliant with standards in European government-funded projects. However, big names include Daimler, Ford, PSA Group, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Qualcomm and Samsung, but instead say that the C-V2X system has a wider range of applications and more support for future updates.
