IOT IN AUTOMOBILES

Internet of Things refers to a connection of billions of complex devices like electronics, sensors, gateways, actuators, and platform hubs. These tangible devices connect and interact with each other over a wireless network. Connected objects (or things) share data with each other and operate without any intervention by humans.

The potential of IoT can be estimated from a study by Gartner that forecasts connectivity of more than 20 billion IoT devices by the end of the year 2025. A large implementation of IoT was first witnessed in manufacturing companies to execute autonomy and reduce production cost. Later its applications turned towards more commercial and general usage.

Nevertheless, the possibilities that internet of things bring for the automobile industry are really immense. Different Automotive IoT use cases have popped up that are revolutionizing the way people interact with their vehicles.

IoT automotive maintenance system also helps a person to take necessary steps to prevent its car parts from sudden breakdown. Just like dashboard indicators of a vehicle, this system alerts the driver about probable malfunctions. However, the alerts are sent to the driver’s mobile, way before the problem even occurs. This helps the driver to make cost-effective and time-saving steps to avoid component failure while driving.
