The Internet of Things (IoT) is coming to vehicles, with connected transportation seeing WiFi enabled cars, buses, trains and planes introduced into infrastructure. The investment into smart city infrastructure has begun to optimise public transportation, lower road accidents and reduce traffic congestion. In the last few years, a number of companies have been developing IoT solutions for use in vehicles. IoT is being introduced to planes for FAA guideline compliance and in-flight connectivity, and to earthbound transport for connectivity on the move and will radically change the way we travel.

The investment into smart city infrastructure has begun to optimise public transportation, lower road accidents and reduce traffic congestion. IoT for cars is the most common so far, with embedded cars using a built-in antenna and chipset, and tethered connections utilising hardware to connect cars through smartphones.
