The internet of things (IoT) is already providing benefits to drivers in the form of sophisticated entertainment systems. It’s become common practice to connect mobile phones to smart radios for music or navigation, and many cars have built-in voice recognition software. But IoT technology offers many more applications to the automotive sector. Following are some examples.
Semi-autonomous vehicles and safer roads. While we’re far from the totally driverless stage of car development, vehicle automation has come a long way. Semi-autonomous vehicles use proximity sensors and cameras to assist drivers with parking, lane changing, braking and many other driving functions. Such systems can even take over partial control of the vehicle in emergencies, and IoT technologies can detect collisions and automatically contact emergency services with location details.
Because most road accidents are due to human error, the widespread use of this technology should result in much safer roads. IoT devices can even monitor driving habits and suggest alterations to the driver, resulting in smarter drivers as well as smarter vehicles.
