Nokia develops network-aware route planning system for self-driving cars with Snowflake


Nokia is developing technology that could address one of the critical challenges facing autonomous vehicles: maintaining reliable network connectivity while navigating complex routes.

The Finnish telecommunications company is testing an AI-powered system that predicts optimal paths for self-driving cars, drones, and robotaxis based on network quality data. The initiative, still in pilot phase, represents Nokia's attempt to monetize its network infrastructure by making connectivity information accessible to autonomous vehicle operators.

Mikko Jarva, Head of Portfolio and Architecture at Nokia, says Snowflake’s technology is helping the telecoms giant predict optimal route paths for autonomous vehicles.
