What is IoT

Industries and organizations have been using various kinds of sensors for a long time but the invention of the Internet of Things has taken the evolutions of sensors to a completely different level.
IoT platforms function and deliver various kind of intelligence and data using a variety of sensors. They serve to collect data, pushing it and sharing it with a whole network of connected devices. All this collected data makes it possible for devices to autonomously function, and the whole ecosystem is becoming “smarter” every day.
By combining a set of sensors and a communication network, devices share information with one another and are improving their effectiveness and functionality.

Take Tesla vehicles as an example. All of the sensors on a car record their perception of the surroundings, uploading the information into a massive database. The data is then processed and all the important new pieces of information are sent to all other vehicles. This is an ongoing process, through which a whole fleet of Tesla vehicles is becoming smarter every day.
