V2X, no?

Again, what's the actual use-case?

I've got a 4G router in my car, to which it connects via wi-fi. I can
use Google Maps, I can stream music if I'm bored with commercial radio,
I can download updates for the car and I can schedule service
appointments with the dealership.

5G coverage is likely going to be worse than 4G coverage for the
foreseeable future. Either grid-locked or on the open road, chances are
your car is going to connecting to a 3G/4G cell tower more often than a
5G one.

And while the practical improvement in radio latency between 4G and 5G
is in the low single digits, how does that make V2X any more interesting
with 5G than it currently is with 4G?

Mark.
