The Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence/machine learning are helping to transform the transport industry. Every part of the transportation industry is impacted with the result of safer, more efficient and smarter transportation systems. Self-driving cars By 2020, it is expected that 10 million self-driving cars will be on the road while there will be more than 250 million smart cars—cars connected to high-tech networks—sharing the road with them. There are already self-driving features on several vehicles that are available today thanks to Tesla, Mercedes and BMW. We can send our gratitude for this innovation to machine learning and the complex system of sensors, cameras andRead More →
