During our recent team holiday party, while we were indulging in some delicious festive foods, the discussion quickly moved to recent news around autonomous vehicles and industry efforts to make driverless navigation a safe reality. Our party spread included decadent chocolate and red velvet cupcakes, which my taste buds confirmed were of the highest quality. But as I savored the holiday treats, my mind traveled to thoughts about new network quality and performance requirements for self-driving cars. There will be a need for cities to be covered with sensors. There is an imminent need for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) standards to be fully implemented. The number of autonomous vehicles worldwide will increase 40-fold from 390,000 in 2022 to 16.8 million by 2030, according to the Boston Consulting Group. We will need continued improvements on wired, wireless and mobile broadband download and upload speeds and ultra-low latencies for end users as well as many sensors and IoT connections. The foundation of tomorrow
