Actually, I think I would prefer to avoid ever experiencing 5g in a car.

*Especially* if any kind of "impact" is involved.

@rysiek Am afraid that there will be a lot of vehicle-to-vehicle communication using 5G. Unless Wifi-P wins that battle. Which comes with its own set of issues.

@whvholst but, like, how fast do you have to go to experience 5g in a *car*? How tight must the turn be? Will the tires not lose grip in such a situation?

If you want it to be _sustained_, you're right. I wouldn't be sure about peak acceleration, though: dropping things on other stiff things can give you surprisingly large peak accelerations (e.g. often HDDs are rated for shocks of magnitude of 250G with parked heads and tens of Gs while reading/writing, and yet dropping one on wooden floor from ~1m is something you'd expect to cause damage).
