Convergence of Automotive And Internet of Things (The Age of the Software Defined Vehicle series Book 2)

The foremost audience of 'The Age of the Software Defined Vehicle' series is anyone and everyone working in the automotive industry or the world of technology that find and fund new technologies and business segments. The rise of the connected vehicle is both exciting and confusing. Exciting because these vehicles are the personification of so many of today's advanced technologies and represent a potent new area in the technology arena. Confusing because little has been compiled about this important trend in one place that explains the history, the technologies, the benefits and how these vehicles will impact us, our families and the streets we drive on.

This 'Age of the Software Defined Vehicles' series brings together the world of the traditional automobile with Information Technology (IT), Operational Technology (OT), cloud, mobile, security, big data, and new emerging consumption and new monetization model. Authors’ Mahbubul Alam and Neeli R. Prasad - longtime Silicon Valley veteran and global technology strategist respectively, are two of today's experts on this exciting, emerging area. The book offers a deep, fascinating dive into where the autonomous vehicle came from, what it is, what it will be and why it's so valuable to us.

Volume II (The Convergence of Automotive and IoT) of the series, 'The Age of the Software Defined Vehicle,' evaluates the opportunities the Internet of Things (IoT) will create in the automotive space because of the convergence of these two disciplines. This volume emphasizes how vehicles will be seen as computing platforms in the near future, and how new functionalities will keep updating vehicles’ software so they remain updated always. It showcases how the synergies among industries will take the automotive industry to a completely different level. It also discusses the outcome of this convergence for individuals, societies and industries, and how it will pave the way towards the era of the Software Defined Vehicle.
