TIL: 5G network slicing creates virtual networks optimized for different use cases on the same infrastructure. An autonomous vehicle slice prioritizes ultra-low latency, an IoT slice handles millions of devices, and a video slice maximizes bandwidth. Each slice is logically isolated.


```yaml
network_slices:
  autonomous_vehicle:
    latency_target: 1ms
    reliability: 99.999%
    priority: critical
  
  massive_iot:
    device_density: 1M/km²
    power_efficiency: optimized
    
  enhanced_broadband:
    bandwidth: 10Gbps
    latency: tolerable
```
