Softbank, Huawei eye self-driving telecom system www3.nhk.or.jp
NHK has learned that Japanese and Chinese telecom giants, Softbank and Huawei, will jointly develop a communication system for self-driving vehicles.
Sources say the 2 companies agreed to develop a system for data exchange involving vehicles and transport infrastructure. Huawei is the third largest smartphone maker in the world.
The system will utilize next-generation mobile networks called 5G. A venture firm that originated at the University of Tokyo will also take part in the project.
Softbank and Huawei plan to develop technologies, including one to stop vehicles by remote control as well as exclusive frequency bands for auto-driving.
Softbank is the first major Japanese telecom firm to join hands with a multinational in this field.
In April, Softbank set up a company dedicated to the development of self-driving. It plans to expand tie-ups with other companies.
US IT giant Google and other companies have been developing self-driving technology. A number of auto firms are also working to commercialize the technology.
