The IoT is the integration of sensation, communication, and analytical capabilities created within conventional technologies. The IoT promises to help the automotive industry by directly managing their existing assets in different places. This allows information from the supply chain and after sales services, as well as dealers and customers, to be collated in order to help them to understand and access the data/information as and when required. Society is becoming smarter by using the IoT ecosystem in day-to-day activities; this has enriched the lives of human beings. The system used by the IoT comprises of many functional blocks to facilitate various utilities such as, sensing, identification, actuation, communication, and management. Various components of IoT devices are processor, audio/video interfaces, input-output interfaces, storage interface, memory interface, and graphics.
