General Motors, AT&T Partner For 5G Connectivity To Vehicles

General Motors Co GM and AT&T Inc T aim to launch 5G cellular connectivity to millions of GM vehicles coming off the assembly line over the next decade in the U.S.
GM and AT&T have collaborated for automotive connectivity with a fifth-generation cellular network architecture for an all-electric and autonomous future.
