Leslie, as I mentioned before,

this is a bit of a special edition of the Shift podcast.

Tell us about it.

Well, Pete, we have been taking a close look at the topic of 5G.

And for those of you who subscribe to automotive news hopefully you got a chance to see our

shift magazine which is all about 5G and how this is changing the game for connected cars.

And UMLOT is a company that's heavily involved with 5G in the terms of consultancy

and also benchmarking how well these networks are performing.

So we're going to talk to them extensively about what's going on with 5G in the US and what the potential is for 5G to change the game for the in vehicle experience and also for

automotive safety.

So we hope you enjoy our conversation with Hakan Ekman and Navid Faruz.

Hakan and Navid, thanks so much for joining us this morning.
