Study Notes
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT is a field exemplifying connectivity between devices and the physical world.
- Physical objects in IoT are equipped with sensors, software, and other technologies to collect and exchange data.
- Devices do not necessarily need to be connected to the public internet; they can connect through local networks as well.
- Technologies enabling IoT include sensors, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and networking protocols.
- In the consumer market, IoT technology is most commonly associated with smart home devices like thermostats and security cameras.
Self-Driving Cars
- Common sensors in self-driving cars include lidar, radar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors; certain sensors not typically used are GPS only, as it lacks precision for real-time navigation.
- Self-driving cars create three-dimensional models of their surroundings using lidar technology, which emits laser beams to measure distances.
- The automotive industry is predicted to face significant changes due to the introduction of autonomous vehicles.
- Control systems in a self-driving car are designed to interpret sensory data and make real-time driving decisions.
- There are six levels of vehicle autonomy according to SAE International, ranging from fully manual to fully automated.
- The term for a car capable of driving without human input is "autonomous vehicle."
- SAE International developed a classification system to categorize vehicle autonomy levels known as the "SAE J3016" standard.
- The maturation of self-driving technology is expected to influence various sectors, including transportation, logistics, and insurance.
- Lidar in self-driving cars serves the purpose of capturing detailed spatial information, crucial for navigation and obstacle detection.
- The impact of autonomous vehicles on the labor market includes potential job displacement in driving professions but may also lead to new job creation in tech and vehicle maintenance.
- Fields predicted to be impacted by autonomous vehicles include transportation, urban planning, and emergency services.
