The car manufacturer Geely has big plans. In early February, it launched eleven satellites into low-Earth orbit, bringing the car manufacturer to 20 communication satellites. The aim is to have 72 by 2025; the project envisages 240 satellites in the final constellation. Such a satellite network will enable extremely precise positioning of cars, communication between vehicles, software updates, and the internet, even in places with no 5G coverage.
