Internet of Things in Self-driving Cars Environment

The development of Self-Driving cars has had two main approaches, the vehicle as an individual object, allowing it to perceive the environment and react to it, and seeing it as part of an autonomous system (smart city) where the environment is responsible for identifying all components and providing timely activation. Internet of Things technologies can drastically improve the capabilities of the autonomous vehicle to better understand its environment with the interconnection of the surrounding elements. The findings from the development of the Internet of Things in autonomous cars are more intelligent mobility with higher levels of safety (for passengers and pedestrians), efficiency (allowing drivers to avoid traffic congestion and facilitating their search for parking), and sustainability (through reduced fuel consumption.). This article reviews advances on the Internet of Things and how it has changed the industry. Aspects in the development of intelligent cities result from implementing the Internet of Things.
