New 5G opportunities, Risk and autonomous vehicles.

With the rapid advancement in 5G technologies and the global network roll out, the autonomous vehicle space is seeing many Opportunities, The Automotive Industry with its Connected Vehicles is expected to heavily utilize the 5G network features such as low latency, high-bandwidth, and network slicing. Current Network capabilities has restricted the Connected space in Automotive to Basic features like track & trace, DTCs, Online Diagnostics and Predictive maintenance at best. Almost all of the control functions in vehicles today are processed in on-board ECUs but Novel technologies like Autonomous Fleet/Vehicles, ADAS demands this functions to be integrated with connected environment. With the low latency High speed environment of 5G such time critical processing is possible at the cloud end. We can move some ECU functions of autonomous vehicles to the cloud or use a hybrid of cloud and on-board processing model in autonomous vehicles with 5G connectivity. Cloud-based ECUs will create exciting possibilities for every connected domain. If we will shift most of the ECUs functions to the cloud end, our on-board processing will be simpler and complexity of the control system will be reduced. With the ECUs function cloud shiftment we can deal with current global issues like chip shortage and vehicle control system complexity. vehicles are increasingly connected and equipped with a growing number of electronic control units (ECUs). Unfortunately, this trend does not only provide benefits for both customers and vehicle manufacturers, but also introduces new, security-related concerns. As recent attacks on vehicle's security have shown, it is required to fix these security issues in a timely manner. Therefore, a framework for secure communication between V2V and V2I is crucial. It is important to explore these risks in order to better prepare the proper defenses against these threats. This paper aims to help automotive manufacturers and security professionals equip autonomous vehicles with ample and proactive defenses along with 5G new business opportunities in autonomous vehicle space.
