IoT GUIDE

Overview

The Internet of Things (IoT) is fostering thousands of clean tech jobs, advanced driver assistance systems, and next-gen smart manufacturing is helping engineers deliver innovative solutions that will lead to a better quality of life now and for years to come.

IoT stories and news that inspire, create excitement and share best practices. Today, we’re highlighting four “can’t miss” from the past several weeks—whether you’re reading them again or catching them for the first time, I hope you enjoy the wide range of topics and insights.

Smart City Technology Improves Quality of Life

Would most urbanites prefer to live in a “smart city?”

The White House Presidential Innovation Fellow project called the SmartAmerica Challenge. The goal? To create tangible and measurable benefits to the U.S. economy and the daily lives of Americans. In response to the challenge, Intel and the City of San Jose launched Smart Cities USA. See how this project plans to implement IoT technology—a system of intelligent sensors that monitor air and water quality, transportation, energy, and communication systems—to help San Jose manage urban population growth and thrive for decades to come.

What are the top 5 technology and computing requirements for enabling tomorrow’s intelligent self-driving cars?

Intel is working closely with the automotive industry to shape new informational, entertainment, and safety capabilities. Solutions, a family of pre-integrated and validated hardware and software products that not only aim to help automakers speed time to market, but also to connect the dots from convenience features to autonomous driving.

Smart Factory and the Internet of Things Opportunity
