This paper provides a comprehensive survey of video streaming in next-generation vehicular networks. As assisted driving technology advances and vehicle entertainment systems develop, future vehicles will become mobile cinemas, allowing passengers to use various multimedia applications. Recent progress in multimedia technology has led to immersive video experiences, including 360° videos and volumetric videos. These applications require high network capabilities, prompting the need for next-generation wireless communication technologies to address network bottlenecks. The paper reviews recent developments in vehicular networking and video types, details video processing technologies, and discusses network strategies and wireless communication technologies that optimize video transmission in vehicular networks. It also highlights the current development of 6G technology applied to vehicle communication and proposes future research directions and challenges. The paper emphasizes the importance of real-time performance, low latency, high reliability, and effective mobility management in vehicular networks. It also explores various video types, including video on demand, live video, 360° video, and volumetric video, and discusses emerging video processing techniques to enhance video transmission in vehicular networks. The paper concludes that future research should focus on integrating emerging technologies and proposing a suitable vehicular network architecture for next-generation video transmission.This paper provides a comprehensive survey of video streaming in next-generation vehicular networks.
