Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm Form Global Cross-Industry 5G Automotive Association

Audi, BMW, Daimler, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia and Qualcomm announced the formation of the 5G Automotive Association, which will develop, test and promote communications solutions, support standardization and accelerate commercial availability and global market penetration. Applications that the companies cite in the press release include connected automated driving, ubiquitous access to services and integration into smart cities and intelligent transportation.

The companies say that 5G can better support mission-critical communications for safer driving and will further support enhanced Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) communications and connected mobility solutions.

The association is open for further partners. The initial partners do not include any mobile network operators.

According to Ericsson, “The success of 5G is dependent on cross-industry work in new eco systems to digitalize industries. With the creation of this Association we will leverage our latest technology, 5G, and work closely together with the car industry to jointly develop solutions as well as provide input to regulation, certification and standardization. We are excited to be co-founder and to work with leading automotive companies shaping the connected car solutions for the future.
