Internet of Things
Given that we are entering the new era of computing technology referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), there are advancements from machine to machine, machine to infrastructure, the internet of everything, the internet of intelligent things and the happening of such innovations is potentially large. The internet of things (IoT) is seen as billions of smart connected things that will encompass every aspect of our lives, and its foundation is the intelligence that is embedded in the processing ( Freescale and Emerging Technologies, 2012). The IoT is made up of smart machines that interact and communicate with other machines, objects, environment, and infrastructure. One of the IoT aspects is the idea of interconnected cars. In this paper, I am going to review the idea of interconnected cars as a problem in the Internet of Things by looking at one of the assigned reading and also the research carried out by different authors about the subject.
The problem that is addressed by the research in the paper is the lack of cars manufacturing companies to make or design cars in such a way that they become an internet of things. Through becoming an internet of things, it would be easier to track the movement of cars from one place to another, and it would be easier for the people to interact with their cars. Most of the people move around through the use of cars, and the cars can be used to show what people like through looking at the places in which the people go with their cars. The research has been supported by the work of two other authors who identify the necessity of making the cars to be digitalized. In their research, authors Flavio Bonomi and Cisco Fellow identify that there is need to make the cars to be viewed as an intelligent system that is made up of devices in which modern technology is used such as the presence if Wi-Fi hotspots on the roadside (Flavio & Cisco, 2013). They will help to track the movement of the car from one place to another by the manufacturer. Just like in the original problem, the use of registration numbers for the cars needs to be digitalized like the barcode that is seen in the products that we purchase from the shops of the supermarkets. The authors also say that it is necessary to manufacture a vehicle in such a way that it is made up of sensors that will detect different issues. Such sensors can include the ability to detect fire, wind, rain, rear obstacle sensor, GPS Sensor and steering angle sensor (Lopez Research, 2013).
There is a different white paper that addresses the same problem. In the paper, the writer argues that the internet of things (cars) should be made in such a way that they should provide other digital services rather than just being used as a travel means or driving means (Hewlett Packard Enterprise, 2014). They also project that an increase in the number of the digitalized cars would lead to an increase in their manufacture since each of the people will want to be connected to the internet. The car of the future will be in such a way that it is safer for the passengers and the road users since it will use the sensors to detect accurate information about the condition of the weather in a given place ...
