Subaru Corporation has installed a local sub-6*1 5G standalone (SA)*2 network covering the entire circuit at Bifuka Proving Ground in the Subaru R&E Center (Hokkaido, Japan), and begun trialing cooperative driving automation.
Chiefly tasked with overseeing advanced research, the Subaru R&E Center has previously worked on automated driving systems using mobile communications. This time, harnessing the high-speed, highly reliable connectivity environment provided by the local 5G SA network, the center has begun testing coordination control*3, including merging and other maneuvers by multiple automated vehicles, and remote vehicle control*4.
