A recent study shows cities using V2I can cut autonomous decision-making time by 40%, making travel smoother than ever before. The costly truth about autonomous vehicles is that without high-speed V2I communication they incur hidden latency penalties that increase travel time, energy use and regulatory risk. Autonomous Vehicles and V2I
