PUTRAJAYA: Celcom showed last week the potential of 5G in autonomous driving.
It modified a Proton Exora into a self-driving car on Thursday, introducing it at the 5G Malaysia Showcase, which opened from April 18-21.
Other potential applications of 5G include remote healthcare diagnosis and consultation, immersive education, real-time e-sports with multiple 4K displays, holoportation, drones for various digital mapping and monitoring, robots, smart manufacturing, precision farming, virtual reality classroom and smart IoT campuses.
The public had a chance to take a taxi ride in the Exora over the weekend.
Radars, sensors, cameras, and laser-emitting lidars and a machine learning computer are necessary to turn a standard car into a robocar.
Local startup eMoovit Technology Sdn Bhd, which developed the driverless system, explained in the video how the driverless Exora works.
