Vehicle-To-Everything, is a wireless technology
that enables communication among vehicles,

Conference in Barcelona. Such cars will be Geely’s
first vehicle models with Level 3 autonomous
technology. With the commercialization of
superfast 5G just miles away, industry insiders
pointed out that intelligent-connected vehicles
will stand at the forefront of the internet of things
(IoT) industry, which is a critical application area
of 5G. 5G is an inevitable trend of the future
communications industry while C-V2X, as a
special non-line-of-sight sensor, will become
one of the core technologies of autonomous
driving. By applying such technologies, vehicles,
be they human-driven or driverless, can know in
real-time what’s ahead of them. Some of Geely’s
autonomous models have arrived at Level 2, but
with the introduction of these technologies, they
will be lifted to Level 3 by the end of 2021. Level
