Abstract or Introduction
This short paper discusses the appearance of IoT in the car industry. Therefor a brief history of autonomous cars is given.
The origin of IoT usage within vehicle industry date back in early 1958, where the idea of the self-driving car became prominent. It was not until 1995 during the embedded era that different auto companies started exploring the connectivity aspect of the car and the roads, for instance, GM OnStar. But the idea was never implemented because of its capital-intensive involvement, lack of competition and use cases at the time.
The first experience of true IoT was seen during infotainment era which ranges from 2007 to 2012. During this era, the car technology such as Ford Sync and GM Mylink took advantage of wireless connectivity aspect which was enabled by the wireless IoT technology. It was at this time the IoT usage in connecting autonomous car through smart cities and different car networks became prevalent.
