Problems in IoT in automobile industry
Besides providing various advantage IoT in automobile industry has numerous
disadvantages, these are as follows
Signalling: at the core of implementing IoT in cars, the solution is bidirectional data
streaming among servers, client applications and cars. These cars revolves around keeping a
low cost, low powered sockets that are open for sending as well as receiving data (Lee & Lee,
2015). This data might include traffic, navigation, vehicle health as well as state, tracking and
almost anything a user wants to do with these vehicles. Signalling is comparatively easy in
the labs but it is very challenging while implementation. There are a huge number of speed
bumps for number automobiles from the tunnels to a bad connectivity of network, hence
reliable connectivity is considered as paramount (Aksu, Babun & Conti, 2018). In this case
data is required to be replicated, cached and majorly sent in actual time between connected
vehicles, clients and servers.
Security: security is majorly important when it comes to implementing IoT in
automobile industry. Data channel access control, data authentication and data encryption are
major data security components of IoT. Having subscribe permissions and a fine grain
publish down to a particular channel or a user is considered to be a very powerful tool for the
concept of IoT security (Gildas, Ramachandran & Gokul, 2017). It usually enables various
developers in creating, restricting and close open channels among connected cars, client
applications as well as servers. With the usage of IoT ion automobile industry, IoT
developers are allowed to build applications that are point to point in nature where various
data streams are bidirectional between various devices (Garg, 2018). Having the main ability

to revoke as well as grant access to the user connection is considered as a security layer on
the top of SSL and AES encryption.
Battery and power consumption: similar to battery and power, bandwidth
consumption is one of the mostly faced challenges by the implementation of IoT in
automobile industry. For the purpose of bidirectional communication, the developers require
connections that are open socket in nature but the developers cannot have them with the
usage of huge loads of bandwidth (Gong, 2016). Leveraging the protocols of M2M
messaging similar to the aforementioned MQTT. Building various IoT based cars on the
system of data messaging along with low amount of overload, they can keep various socket
connections open having a limited amount of bandwidth consumption. Instead of hitting
various servers once numerous times every second, replacing it with an open socket would
allow data in stretching bidirectional, besides this it does not require requests to the server.
Presence: IoT based cars are very expensive and hence they are necessary to be
tracked. Due to these, people usually look a way for keeping tabs on the connected cars,
weather it is freights and fleet management, geolocation and taxy dispatch. Present
functionality can be described as a way that can be used for the purpose of monitoring
individual or a particular group of devices that are based on IoT (Mehta & Patel, 2016).
Developers usually build custom vehicle states as well as monitor them in real time weather
they are online or offline, change state and many more. An example of this includes Take
fleet management. When various delivery vehicles set off on route, the status of capacity can
be reflected in real time with a particular system. This particular dispatch system knows when
a particular vehicle is full or available. This further contributes in creating issues for users
because this particular facility of tracking vehicles is not provided to every individual,
besides this, they might not know how to use this facility.
