That’s only true if you’re trying to send stereo full frame video to the goggles from a remote location. If you have intelligence on the user device and can render a lot of the stuff locally, that bandwidth requirement drops dramatically.

An autonomous vehicle shouldn’t be taking cellular data into account for stopping distances… Onboard sensors should be able to stop the vehicle when time is critical.

I’m not sure I understand the meaning of this statement. Is the traffic operations center controlling the vehicles approaching the intersection? Why would the vehicles not be able to sort this out autonomously?

I hypothesize that if you are doing life support or life critical operations over traditional IP, you are doing something very very wrong and people will suffer dire consequences as a result.

It sounds like your idea of how tomorrow’s applications will operate will require some re-thinking. I know my Tesla, for example, when in full self-driving (beta) mode does not phone home
before it decides to hit the brakes, swerve, or take other emergency actions for example.

I think that the issue will usually be obviated by moving the time-critical decisions closer to the edge (or never centralizing them to begin with).
