Hungary has opened a track for testing autonomous vehicles in
Zalaegerszeg, known as the ZalaZone, Ericsson said in a press
release on 28 May. The ZalaZone test track features a 2-kilometer
handling course that includes a multi-surface braking platform and
multiple test track modules for highway roads to rural roads. It
also features Ericsson's 5G technology installed on an existing
radio tower owned by Magyar Telekom. The test track offers testing
opportunity for automakers in Europe that are relying on 5G network
infrastructure.
"Right now, the car of the future is just on a practise lap. 5G
will give us the green flag to speed up innovation. The millisecond
latency of 5G will enable workloads to be shifted, balancing what
work gets done in the car, and what gets done in the cloud. This
makes access to data faster and allows us to transform onboard
architecture of vehicles," said Claes Herlitz, head of Global
Automotive Services at Ericsson.
