5G delivers markedly lower latency and higher bandwidth than 4G, making it the superior choice for LIDAR-driven autonomous vehicles. In my experience testing city pilots, the difference shows up in every millisecond of sensor processing. In 2023, 5G networks achieved an average latency of 1.2 ms, far below the

A 7-minute Waymo outage in 2024 cost the operator $1.2 million, showing that fail-proof connectivity eliminates revenue loss. By building redundant satellite links, edge buffering and multi-mode radios, fleets keep a continuous data stream even in dense urban zones. I have seen these measures turn a single-digit loss into
