Communication Infrastructures For Self-Driving Vehicles

Significant advancements in the car manufacturing industry have led to true self-driving vehicles. Last year, Mercedes-Benz became the first company to obtain approval of their Level 3 autonomous driving system. Tesla has claimed to be very close to having the ability to manufacture fully self-driving cars. However, as of the end of 2021, no vehicle sold in the U.S. market had a Level 3 or higher automated driving system. Last year, Germany amended its Road Traffic Act to accommodate the deployment of Level 4 systems. The development of autonomous vehicles still faces many technological and legal challenges. One important question is whether self-driving cars can navigate safely without a consistent internet connection, something Tesla recently claimed to be possible. Would flawless data transfer be inevitably required to elevate driving systems to a higher, more automated level? The amended German law requires a self-driving car to have a technical supervisor who
