When fully developed, telematics will play a key role as the communication hub for autonomous vehicles, LG says in a press release. First, sensors in the vehicles ADAS comprised of cameras, radar and lidar read the surrounding environment and send the data to the cloud along with information on nearby vehicles collected via V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything). All the information gathered is repeatedly analyzed and transmitted to the telematics systems of vehicles for customized driving information.
