By 2020, 90 percent of all new cars will have some sort of built-in connectivity platform, and by 2022, there will be 1.8 billion automotive M2M connections. As cars join the Internet of Things, cars will stop being independent entities and will become part of a larger, connected ecosystem. Cars as part of the IoT isn\u2019t just a look into the future \u2013 it\u2019s already happening.
\n\u201cEverything that moves will become autonomic, it\u2019s just a matter of time,\u201d says Vishnu Andhare, Consulting Manager at ISG. Andhare notes that all of the big automotive players are already moving towards a future of shared mobility, and mobility-as-a-service \u2013 although it will take time. \u201cIn the future, it will not be limited by technology, but by the psychological barrier, and by public policy,\u201d he says. \u201cthere is a limit to which the human mind can go without semblance of control. At airports, you already see terminal-to-terminal autonomic shuttles. We are used to them. But with cars on the road, there is still a psychological barrier.\u201d<\/p>\n
