Tech Briefing IoT- Transforming the Automotive Industry

        The transportation industry is always evolving, changing, and adapting to the needs of the citizens of today. The methods that have been in place the past 100 years have improved drastically, with focus on making transportation quicker, more efficient, and safer, however this is the era for creating connected vehicles. What would a world look like if cars and vehicles on the road could talk to each other? Well the cars on the road would be able to communicate lane changes and safer following distance. How about if vehicles could talk to humans, or in better words communicate and relay information to us? Vehicles would be able to better let us know about mechanical problems or car updates. With the more frequent integration of IoT in automobiles, the transportation industry would take a large leap in changing the way we move. 

Here is a unique perspective of how tech giant IBM is playing a role in the IoT automotive race. I am excited to see the evolution of this technology int the transportation industry, and one day hope to get my hands on a connected car. 

Do you think the Internet of Things will positively or negatively impact the automotive industry? Why?
