To achieve this goal, the metaverse heavily relies on extended reality (XR), IoT, and communication technologies. With such an overlap in supporting technologies, we expect a convergence between connected and automated vehicle applications and the metaverse. Connected and automated vehicles are mobile platforms equipped with significant sensing and computing capabilities that can augment the metaverse. On the other hand, immersive metaverse applications can improve the en route entertainment and driving experience of the driver and passenger. Meanwhile, the richer information collected and created from the metaverse has created new challenges, such as information filtering, object positioning, vision transformation, etc. These challenges are often computation-intensive and bring considerable additional delay to the connected and automated vehicles which demand near real-time reactions. Researchers have thus proposed edge and cloud computing, machine learning, and computer vision solutions to tackle such challenges.

Even though achieving global connectivity represents one of the main goals of 5G and beyond wireless networks, exurban areas are still suffering frequent outages because of the lack of proper telecom infrastructures, which are often available only in urban areas. Indeed, cellular network design is usually capacity driven, and thus the densities of base stations (BSs) follow mostly population and especially revenue densities. Contextually, we focus on one of the most promising solutions to provide sufficient and reliable coverage in far-flung areas: aerial base stations (ABSs), which consist of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying cellular BS equipment. In this article, we extensively discuss the problem of bridging what is called the urban–rural digital divide (i.e., the connectivity gap between urban and rural areas) from various perspectives. First, we showcase various alternative solutions and compare conventional terrestrial networks with aerial networks from a techno-economic point of view. Then, we highlight the topological aspects of rural environments and explain how they can affect the actual design of cellular networks. In addition, we investigate both the coverage probability and the reliability of the communication links via simulations, proving that the integration of ABSs can be quite promising in a 6G perspective. Finally, we propose two original extensions of our case study as open problems.
