> self-driving cars/etc, more integrated city infra cannot happen without 5G What do you mean? We basically have the first prototype of self driving cars already and what city infrastructure works on 5G but not 4G?

im sure city infrastructure worked even before cellphones. Higher bandwidth allows for far more things to be done where value can be extracted. Google has already tried their Sidewalk Labs, not going to be the last attempt. as for self driving cars, fully 3D mapped city roads will be eventually needed to improve ride quality, and they will be constantly uploaded/downloaded by vehicles. Here is one example: https://www.clearmotion.com/ https://www.clearmotion.com/ "This “digital chassis” consists of four electro-hydraulic “activalves” installed on the shock absorbers at each wheel, and it collects and stores road data in the cloud for analysis and retrieval at a later date." more use cases, more data, etc etc.

  for the money it would cost to map the city streets every week I imagine they could just fill the potholes and make sure the lane markers are painted there’s a lot of chicago that is really ambiguous about being one or two lanes, you just kind of cross your fingers and hope everyone else also has a fear of death (this is why i dont trust ai, no fear of death in em)

  > collects and stores road data in the cloud for analysis and retrieval at a later date This sounds terrible for a lot of other reasons, but anyway. It sounds like they want to rely on collected data about roads which is great, but cars still have to have safety measures for pedestrians/unexpected obstacles like trucks or new road issues. 5G would improve this but I still don't see how it's necessary. Even now it sounds like it's collecting data and uploading it on WiFi or something later. I'd be surprised if it was too much data for 4G.
