THE CONNECTED CAR: A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

This manuscript provides a comprehensive look into connected cars, the future of transportation that is accentuating the power and capabilities of the Internet of Things (IoT). The growing interest and demand for connected cars are ascribable to features they offer such as comfort, connectivity, performance, and safety. Connected cars can utilize their native embedded systems to communicate with other vehicles and infrastructure, exchange safety data, receive system updates, and stream infotainment. This utilization is made possible by the IoT, which is a concept that has grown immensely over the years to encompass billions of physical devices that are embedded with a system of Internet-enabled sensors. This sensor use allows the devices to transmit and receive data across various network types. It also enables communication with a whole interconnected intelligent system of other Internet-capable devices. The integration of IoT technologies in business and home environments has transformed the depth of interaction humans can have with IoT devices, changing the modern world in countless ways. The IoT has redefined how the Internet, and data analytics and processing, can be used in conjunction with physical devices. Nearly any physical object, even if it is not a traditional computing device, can be equipped with IoT functionalities.
