DOCOMO, Sony to test driverless concept vehicle via 5G trial network

KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 (Bernama) -- Japan's leading mobile operator, NTT DOCOMO INC, and Sony Corporation will jointly test driverless concept vehicle via 5G trial network.

The New Concept Cart SC-1 is a highly conceptual vehicle that incorporates artificial-intelligence and robotics technologies developed by Sony.

The test will be conducted in DOCOMO 5G Open Lab(™) GUAM, which will provide test facilities and an outdoor verification environment constructed by DOCOMO and operated by DOCOMO PACIFIC, INC.

The test will verify data transmission and operational performance required to remotely control the cart from a long distance via the extra-high speed, large capacity, low latency and massive-device connectivity.

This will be the firms’ second joint trial of 5G technologies, following a trial conducted in Japan in 2017 to test the real-time transmission of high-definition video via a 5G system to a 4K digital-signage system fitted to the outside of the cart.

Moving forward, Sony and DOCOMO will also collaborate to expand the application of 5G technologies.
