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.
