But what about cars? Seeing everything change with technology, our cars felt a bit left out. So they decided to rev up(get it?)

If you’ve heard of Olli, you might know just what we’re talking about. For those who are beginning to assume that Olli is some celebrity, it’s not. Olli is IBM’s driverless car which uses IBM Watson IoT Platform for analyzing its environment to make travel safer and more convenient.

And it hasn’t just been IBM which has been working on making driverless cars, Google is working on it as well. These cars can interact with each other effectively making the roads safer than ever. There is a popular saying that goes, “to err is to be human”, and that kind of sums up most of the road accidents happening right now. Drivers misjudge whether they can make it through the gap between the two trucks in front of them and then end up hitting one of them. This usually ends with the drivers cursing truck drivers for rash driving while they were at fault the whole while.

The point is, that we humans are pretty good at making errors(and not taking responsibility for it). So an obvious attempt towards making the roads safer would be to let the robots drive. While it seems scary at first, given all the misconceptions we have about artificial intelligence, letting robots drive would make roads considerably safer. A person driving under the influence of stress or trauma is likely to not pay as much attention to the roads as (s)he should. This increases the probability of the occurrence of an accident by that person.

Robots, on the other hand, aren’t capable of being in stress or trauma, thus reducing the probability of occurrence of accidents. In fact, robots are capable of calculating faster and more accurately than humans and hence they are less likely to make an error in judging whether the car can pass between the two trucks or not.

Moreover, since all(or most) of the cars would be driven by robots, they would stay connected to each other and would make the traffic smoother minimizing traffic jams. Even if traffic jams come up, there would be no impatient drivers recklessly switching lanes making the traffic jams worse.

Looking at a bigger picture, if the roads within cities can be organized well with IoT, roads across the country, and also those spreading across the countries can be made safer and more convenient. IoT can also help in reducing the accidents caused by truck drivers who do two shifts back-to-back just so that they could earn more. Smart trucks would be able to deliver the products from source to destination without leading to accidents from exhaustion. This would not only make the roads safer but would also ensure timely delivery of the products. Logistics would be revolutionized with IoT, and so would the lives of the regular commuters.

More Verticals
While it is already present in a lot of industry verticals, there is an ever-growing demand for making things more connected in almost every sector of the economy. This is where IoT comes in. Being based on interconnectivity of devices, it is highly effective in bringing together various devices. In this half of the year, we can see it expanding to more sectors, and in various fields in the existing sectors. There’s a lot more to be automated in houses than just lights and fans and those working on IoT know it and work hard to let it encompass as much area as possible.

More Data
This one was kind of obvious. There would certainly be a lot more data generated as more and more verticals are exposed to the awesomeness IoT possesses. The point to be noticed here is that the increase in data would lead to a lot of new insight that can be brought to us only with the help of data mining. That’s right, the Big Data industry would see a huge boost. The second half of 2017 would certainly see a great need for more work to be done on the data obtained from all of these devices.

More Marketplaces
Every vendor builds devices to be sold to the customers. Without a proper marketplace, it would be difficult to reach out to the customers. IoT marketplaces until now have been mostly electronic stores with a few IoT ready products on the showcase. In the latter half of the year, we might be able to see more IoT-centric marketplaces which would be the home of innovation. This is something I am really looking forward to because innovation moves me like nothing else does, and IoT brings a lot of innovation to the table.

More Learning
By learning, I mean machine learning. Machine learning has been here for a while as an integral part of artificial intelligence. IoT takes machine learning to a new level with unprecedented options of growth. With the help of the huge amount of data generated by IoT devices, the results of machine learning grow more precise since now there is more data to refine the results. Better analytics can also be done with the help of this advancement. Machine learning is bound to grow in the latter half of 2017.

So, there you have it. Or do you? Obviously, there are a lot of other fields that internet of things would come to in 2017. And that is what makes it important. But these were a few that I felt were absolutely necessary for this year.
