With all of the work going on in sensors and AI, which future cars will have to have anyway, and with the coming of 5G Uu, will we need direct V2X in 10 years? What will be the role of direct V2X communication when 5G becomes pervasive? Can V2N2V really match the performance and coverage of direct V2V? Will cellular networks handle all V2I and I2V traffic in 10 years?
