Rogers Provides A Variety Of Material Solutions For 5G And Mobile Connected Car Applications To Promote The Development Of Autonomous Driving Technology

Jun 12, 2022

In recent years, 5G and autonomous driving have been a hot topic of discussion. 5G and mobility are the product of the deep integration of the automotive industry with new-generation information technologies such as communications, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, and high-performance computing. The first 5G smart transportation experience center in China, located in the EV-AI Zhixing Port of Shanghai Jiading Automobile City, truly allows us to experience the new experience brought by the integration of 5G and autonomous driving.


The car in the experience center has reached a high level of automatic driving. Although there are still steering wheels and pedals, the hands and feet of the safety officer are truly "liberated", and the car does not require human intervention during the driving process (of course, the safety officer also does not require human intervention in special circumstances). Intervention manipulation is still an option). Although the experience vehicle is currently driving autonomously under limited conditions, various sensing devices on the vehicle, such as millimeter-wave radar sensors, can sense the 360-degree environment around the car in real time, make accurate judgments and execute corresponding actions. operation, and perform various behaviors such as acceleration, deceleration, avoidance, braking and waiting.


In the experience center, you can personally experience 7 kinds of V2X scenarios: automatic traffic light recognition, automatic bridge recognition, automatic speed limit area recognition, automatic avoidance of faulty vehicles, automatic avoidance of vehicles, automatic deceleration and follow-up or parking when encountering pedestrians, automatic cornering identify. All driving road information is real-time traffic data connected to the cloud through 5G. For example, the vehicle that automatically avoids road failure is the real-time road information sent back through 5G technology, prompting the vehicle to stop on the road at a certain distance in front of the vehicle, and a prompt will appear on the screen of the center console of the vehicle when the information is obtained. At the same time, the vehicle will decelerate in advance and automatically change. Road avoidance processing, so that the car can safely pass the faulty vehicle to avoid traffic accidents.


Self-driving cars equipped with 5G technology can achieve safer driving and more comfortable rides. The transmission speed of 5G is much higher than that of 4G, and it can realize high speed, low latency and wide connection of information dissemination, and connected autonomous vehicles will be a typical application in "high reliability and low latency scenarios". Faster 5G signal transmission will give the vehicle system more time for feedback and processing, thereby ensuring driving safety and providing a more efficient driving experience. In the future, when you ride in a self-driving vehicle with a 5G signal, it will be like sitting in your own living room or on a high-speed rail plane, and you can indulge in free and happy hours without worrying about safety issues.


As a global leader in engineering materials, Rogers provides a variety of material solutions for 5G applications and mobile connected car applications, jointly promoting the development of various applications and industries. Rogers' RO3000® and RO4000® series of materials have been widely used in antenna design for 24 GHz and 77 GHz automotive collision avoidance radar systems. For further autonomous driving, higher performance GPS/GNSS and V2X antennas are essential, and Kappa™ 438 and RO4000 series materials are also ideal.
