5G – where were we 5 years ago and where are we today? Enrico Salvatori, Qualcomm, talks about an important moment for the role of digital in the new design of automotive technologies

5G, combined with AI, will be transformative in many industry sectors, but one area adopting this kind of technology particularly rapidly is automotive. Qualcomm aims to deliver in the three domains of digital chassis – connectivity and telematics, cockpit technology and autonomous design and thus enable the optimisation of performance. Expanding the parameters of connectivity is today's reality and dramatically improves the user experience, ensuring consumers can get the same experience inside their car that they do on their smartphone. This will be the next step forward.
