Abstract— The aim of the paper is to discuss about the
importance of internet of things in vehicles. IoT has a great
influence in the automotive industries. The vehicle industry has
spent a huge amount of money, so that they can get connected
with the IoT. The paper will describe the importance of IoT in
the internet things and the applications. The need of the IoT will
be described in details. The effect of connecting with IoT will be
described in the paper.
I. INTRODUCTION
Internet of Things has already changed the way of
thinking for the people. It is expected that with the upcoming
years IoT will expand in to every industries across the entire
sector. However, automobiles has implemented IoT in their
systems [11]. This implementation has helped the automobiles
industry to provide benefits for the customer , that includes
new way of owning a car, better security and safety and also
provides highly personalized experience for the users [13].
II. DISCUSSION
According to the researches made, it is expected that
within 2020, around 250 million cars will become connected
with the IoT[7]. Tesla model S is being designed in such a
way that it can operate certain features without need of any
input from the drivers , such as accelerate , decelerate ,

changing lanes , overtaking other cars and merging with
traffic. The important features provided by the implementing
IoT in vehicles are :
A. Safety:
Safety increases with the implementation of IoT in cars. This
includes reducing number of accidents, fatalities, injuries an
response times taken by EMS [1].
B. Sustainability:
With implementation of the technology the emission of CO2
decreases in the environment, thus decreases pollution in the
nature [6].
C. Efficiency:
The vehicles can be used more efficiently and the operations
will be improved [3].
D. Compact size:
These cars are small in size and causes less noise. Thus this
reduces noise pollution in the environment [4]. That is one can
manipulate the function , including changing the temperature
or managing the windows and many more.
E. Smart access:
The IoT helps to operate the cars smartly , that is some
features o the cars can be operated with the use of smart
phones[5].
F. Viper SmartStart:
This helps to install a kit that has all the gadgets used in IoT;
mobile apps to operate this are installed within the cars [9].
Once the IoT is being implemented in the car, the owner can
track the cars detail, lock the car whenever needed.
G. NFC door locks:
This are used to unlock the cars whenever one looses the keys,
with the help of one tap in the phones [12].
H. TapKey:
This is implemented within the mobile app; this facilitates the
owner to let others to use the car[1].
I. Avoids traffic congestion:
The traffics can be avoided with the help of IoT, as the IoT
will help to plan the trip. As they will get update of the
congestion in the roads, so they will take different route to
reach [11]. With implementation of the technology, the app
will be able to estimate the time that will be wasted on the
traffic and the car will change the route accordingly.

Some disadvantages of implementing IoT in the cars:
 The main problem that is faced with the
implementation of the technology, is that the security
and privacy issues [10]. Vehicles can be easily
hacked, as all the details are shared through the
mobile apps, this helps the attackers t easily track the
location.
 Second problem that is likely to be faced with the
implementation of his technology is that, it will affect
the employment of many people. AS with the
implementation of the IoT in the vehicles, there will
be no need of drivers and thus this sector will be
automatically eliminated [15]. Several people are
associated with the driving sector they will lose their
jobs. This will create a major need or jobs in the
society.
 The decision taken by the vehicles at critically
situation is unpredictable [7]. The decision made by
the cars is unpredictable and doubtful.
Thus, it becomes very much necessary to develop
software that will be able to deliver both the functionality and
security efficiently [6].
III. CONCLUSION
From the above paper, it can be concluded that there
is a huge importance of IoT in the vehicles. The importance
and the necessity of the IoT are being discussed in the above
paper. IoT will change the way of vehicles. The
implementation of IoT gives the owner a luxurious ride. They
can seat back without worrying about the drive. This makes
the driver careless and may lead to accidents, as they

completely rely on the cars to take decisions. The paper also
discusses about the drawbacks that are likely to come with the
implementation of this technology. Apart from the drawbacks,
IoT has some major benefits for the vehicles.
