Outline
The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices,
vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics,
software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity which enables these
things to connect, collect and exchange data. IoT involves extending
Internet connectivity beyond standard devices, such as desktops,
laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditionally dumb or
non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects. Embedded
with technology, these devices can communicate and interact over the
Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and controlled. With the
arrival of driverless vehicles, a branch of IoT, i.e. the Internet of
Vehicle starts to gain more attention.
