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.
