  The three keys to autonomous driving are sensors, data integration, and 100%
safety decisions. In the past, due to the high latency and low reliability of
the network, many decisions had to be made locally in the vehicle. This puts
high demands on the vehicle itself, which results in the dilatory
commercialization of automatic driving. With the advent of 5G, these situations
will be greatly improved. In this paper, we present the improvements that 5G
technology brings to autonomous vehicles especially in terms of latency and
reliability amongst the multitude of other factors. The paper analyzes the
specific areas where 5G can improve for autonomous vehicles and Intelligent
Transport Systems in general (ITS) and looks forward to the application of 5G
technology in the future.
