What could Google have in common with Lexus, Toyota, SEAT, BMW and Audi ?Car Think!
Under the
Internet of Things, cars could think and react and prompt. They could be paired to
an owner’s smartphone, home, lighting, heating and control systems. They would be
connected to various house appliances. All settings could be adjusted
from behind the wheel.
Linkages to smartphones enables a duplication of the car dashboard so as to allow remote monitoring of things such as fuel and oil levels. Smartphones and smart cars would sync with home ecosystem and mobile devices.

The car’s geo-location software would work in tandem with the home cameras and innumerable other sensors, so that the owner and his assets are well connected and the owner well
informed of the position.
Car owners could have reassuring car-to-home connectivity. (Car as a home away from home?) Owners would wire-less control connected devices at home from a remote point. Linked smoke detectors could convey any smoke alarm to the car. A minor mishap like a garden pipe leak at home would be conveyed to the owner even as he is in the car. May be, if connected, the plumber would have an order to execute.

Cars would communicate with parking lots in its search for parking spaces.
Apps are already available to reserve parking slots against due payment. Problems
of finding cars in huge sized parking lots are facilitated on the smart phone. Town restraints on parking could be detected and the owner informed of risks. (Parking prohibited in Troy on Wednesdays, for example)
Alerts on status of car machines would be available. Any problem in the car could
be detected; if there is need to fill in fuel, air oil etc. the car would notify. Efficiency levels and maintenance costs are minimized owing to early
warning suggestions.
Security features that keep the car connected in an emergency. eCall-equipped chip by 2018 that will automatically contact the nearest emergency centre in case of a collision. Plain breakdown could be reported real-time to breakdown services.
Cars could capture conversations and respond (e.g: How far is the ATM?)

Sensors would also monitor driver behaviour and warn them of sleepy
eyes or over limit alcohol intake. Thus IoT enters the arena of behaviourial oversight for safety's sake. Family / Chauffeur trackers that would send reports if the driver has
violated agreed upon boundaries
Sensors of the Smart type would advise on:
- Road topography and conditions
- Fuel Stations and rest rooms
- Proximate vehicle distance
- Obstacles in rear, sides and front
- Blind spot manoeuvring
- Air pressures
- Vehicle engine and engineering
- Seatbelts
- Weather ahead
- All electronic controls
- All crucial elements like gears, brakes etc
- Traffic management
- Food to suit tastes!
We may need drivers no more!!!
