6G Project opens up new Possibilities for connected Mobility

article imageConnected vehicles will make mobility more efficient, safer, more relaxed, and more intelligent. For this, the vehicles - whether on the road, in the air, or on the factory floor - will have to be able to reliably exchange data with each other and their surroundings. Various sensors, such as radars, will play a key role in this. Sensors will enable vehicles to "see"" and recognize their surroundings, helping them avoid collisions, for example.
