Cisco on the forefront of IoT development

Although this recognition of the status of self-driven cars is a milestone for the auto makers themselves, it also shows that the Internet of Things trend is gaining even more momentum. A driverless car would undoubtedly need an Internet connection – a technology that Cisco is working hard to continue to innovate.
With recent acquisitions and the Internet of Everything initiative, Cisco is showing serious interest in the prospect of connecting everyday items. In fact, an infographic created for Wired by Cisco discusses some of the benefits of a connected car.
The graphic states that these cars would be able to "talk" with the computer systems at mechanic shops, telling them about issues with the car's functionality before they become serious problems. This would allow for driverless car manufacturers such as Google to further point out the safety benefits of their vehicles, as a human driver would almost never be able to know about a mechanical problem before it began to affect their driving.
Cisco has long been known for its networking capabilities, so it makes sense that the company would make a move into the IoT. While it's impossible to say what technology will go into the future of driverless cars, it's clear that Cisco is doing everything it can to place itself within this revolution.
