How IoT Helps the Automotive Industry and Connected Vehicles to Thrive

IoT in the automotive industry has become a hotspot for a wide range of multi-purpose applications, with applications used at both the industrial and commercial levels

Fremont, CA: From connected cars to automated transportation systems, the Internet of Things has significantly impacted the global automobile industry. The following are examples of major IoT applications in the automotive industry:

Telematics and in-vehicle infotainment: Telematics features in IoT-based cars have been enabled by in-car Wi-Fi capabilities powered by 4G LTE connections. The term "telematics" refers to the long-distance transmission of electronic data.

Using vehicular telematics, a car owner can keep an eagle eye on their vehicle, even from remote locations. Using a smartphone-enabled dashboard, car owners can be assured of their vehicle's security, surveillance, and safety at all times. External sensors and cameras monitor the status of the cars and transmit the data to a mobile application.

Automotive Maintenance System: Predictive analytics is one of the fascinating aspects of IoT automotive. Sensors embedded in various automotive components collect and transmit data to a platform. This data is then analyzed by an algorithm, which can forecast the component's future outcomes based on its current performance.

The adoption of IoT in the automobile industry has resulted in significant advancements in fleet management. Trucks now come standard with weight measuring, position tracking, and various other sensors.

A large amount of sensory data collected from a large fleet of these trucks is stored in the cloud using a cloud application. This data is then transformed into a visual representation using various analytics techniques.

Connected Car: Connected automobiles enable faster data transmission and increase driver response time through improved vehicle connectivity.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and other disruptive technologies are reshaping the automotive industry. This field's evolution has resulted in ground-breaking advancements in automobiles in terms of linked and automated vehicles. In addition, its use has improved car inspection and maintenance skills while also introducing new forms of entertainment.
