Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) Connectivity for Intelligent Mobility

Ubiquitous connectivity allows for constant flows

of data, making “always-on” the new default for

the exploding number of connections around us,

particularly people-to-thing and thing-to-thing

connections. 5G networks, smart devices, and edge

computing will support vehicle-to-everything (V2X)

connectivity, and it’s estimated that 15% of cars will

have 5G-based V2X capabilities by 2025.

Intelligent connected vehicles will give us greater

freedom by anticipating our needs and automatically

adjusting to their surroundings. According to a

McKinsey report, the global autonomous vehicle

market has the potential to reach US$1.9 trillion

by 2025. Autonomous driving will bring additional

benefits: a reduction in the number of traffic accidents,

10% lower fuel consumption, and 20% less air

pollution.

Even streets will see an upgrade. Traffic management

systems and virtual emergency lanes will eliminate

congestion through tailored streets. Traffic systems will

combine data from pedestrians, drivers, vehicles, and

roads in a unified network for real-time data analysis.

These systems will dynamically plan road resources to

improve their utilization and give emergency response

vehicles the right of way.

Accelerated Innovation and Augmented Creativity

Computers’ perception and inference capabilities are

growing exponentially thanks to two things. The first is

AI algorithms, especially deep learning algorithms, that

are trained on vast amounts of data, and the second

is an abundance of computing power made possible

by cloud and quantum computing. These enhanced

capabilities are helping innovation happen faster than

ever before. When AI takes care of time-consuming

and repetitive work, we can focus on more creative,

knowledge-intensive jobs. AI is poised to deliver

enormous benefits to all industries:

■    Scientific research institutes often have to perform

the same experiments multiple times. If they can

offload that work to intelligent machines, they will

see much faster breakthroughs in research.

■    Cities can improve governance and provide

widespread public services in everyday life, such as

transportation, education, healthcare, and public

safety.

■    Carriers can build autonomous networks that are

less costly to operate and maintain than traditional

networks. AI also helps carriers innovate more

rapidly.

■    Factories can enhance quality control efficiency,

improve yield rate, and transform into flexible

manufacturing.

■    Car manufacturers can save the time it takes to

obtain road test data and to create, train, and

deploy AI models, and develop multi-scenario

intelligent driving solutions.

■    Any business can work more efficiently with

AI. They can use knowledge graphs to gather

experience and intelligence to better inform

innovation.

Huawei’s GIV report predicts that 97% of large

companies will be using AI by 2025.

Intelligent Infrastructure: Launching the Age of Intelligence

Intelligent infrastructure is the foundation for the intelligent world and a core enabler of modern industry.

Intelligent infrastructure can be created either by adding AI to conventional ICT infrastructure or by building new

networks with new ICT technologies. No matter how it’s created, intelligent infrastructure will be fertile ground for

innovation in all industries as we launch into the age of intelligence.
