HORIBA MIRA is teaming up with Vodafone to bring 5G to its Nuneaton site in Midlands. The site is known for its advanced set of facilities for engineering self-driving vehicles.
Vodafone will deploy and build a 4G and 5G mobile private network at the site offering ultrafast data speeds, allowing vehicles to communicate with each other and the surrounding infrastructure – including traffic signals – in near-real time.
The 5G offering will be used by HORIBA MIRA’s clients, namely automakers, self-driving disruptors and their suppliers, to push the boundaries of driverless technologies through new forms of engineering, testing, verification and validation.
The company believes that this will expand its unique self-driving capabilities, which already includes expertise in the rising cybersecurity threats facing driverless technologies as well as the use of artificial intelligence in Unmanned Ground Vehicles in the defence sector.
