By: Jojo Moolayil

Overview of this book

With an increasing number of devices getting connected to the Internet, massive amounts of data are being generated that can be used for analysis. This book helps you to understand Internet of Things in depth and decision science, and solve business use cases. With IoT, the frequency and impact of the problem is huge. Addressing a problem with such a huge impact requires a very structured approach. The entire journey of addressing the problem by defining it, designing the solution, and executing it using decision science is articulated in this book through engaging and easy-to-understand business use cases. You will get a detailed understanding of IoT, decision science, and the art of solving a business problem in IoT through decision science. By the end of this book, you’ll have an understanding of the complex aspects of decision making in IoT and will be able to take that knowledge with you onto whatever project calls for it

Preface

Autonomous cars


The final topic that we will discuss in this chapter for disruptions in IoT is autonomous cars. Autonomous cars have been surfacing the technology innovations for quite some time but are yet to hit mainstream production. Most cars that have some sort of autonomous feature are still limited only to the flagship vehicles from the premium carmakers. Google's self-driving cars have been making news for a while and have seen quite a hefty progress in the accuracy of self-driving. Autonomous cars are defined at the cusp of innovation in the industry. It combines learnings from IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cognitive computing, and edge computing and delivers a world-class solution that has been fancied for a really long time. We'll understand a few important aspects about autonomous cars in order to understand the concept. We'll first touch base on the vision and inspiration for which autonomous cars had been developed. We'll study about the miniscule forms of...
