IoT in the automotive industry has transformed the manufacturing, usage, and maintenance of vehicles. With sensors, software, and connectivity, IoT converts a normal vehicle into an intelligent system capable of communicating with other vehicles, infrastructure, and mobile devices. It allows real-time data to be transmitted so that the vehicle's performance can be monitored from a distance, its diagnostics carried out, and predictive maintenance undertaken to reduce downtime and increase vehicle longevity.
In addition, it enhances the experience of driving by offering features like real-time navigation, traffic updates, and an automated driving system. It will also provide much greater safety because of features like collision detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance, which eventually reduces accidents and improves traffic flow. Furthermore, IoT encourages V2X communication, where a vehicle interacts with the surrounding infrastructure to optimize fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve overall road safety. With the advancement in IoT, influence in the auto industry is envisioned to expand while paving the roads for autonomous automobiles and smart cities.
