**7.3 Applications of 5G in transportation**

There are several possible uses for 5G in the transportation sector, including:

• Vehicle connectivity: Real-time communication, improved efficiency, and increased safety can all be achieved through the use of 5G, which can connect cars to nearby infrastructure and one another as illustrated in **Figure 7**. For example, 5G can be used to make vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication
