Abstract
Example embodiments described herein involve a system including a high throughput signal transmitter adjacent to a charging port of an autonomous vehicle configured to transmit information to a high throughput signal receiver. The high throughput signal receiver may be positioned on an electrical charging apparatus. Further, the high throughput signal transmitter and the high throughput signal receiver may be in point to point communication. Finally, the high throughput signal transmitter and the high throughput signal receiver may be separated by a distance up to and including 1.5 meters.
