To better manage these fl eets of complex vehicles, automakers need a way to enable wireless monitoring of vehicles through the Internet of Things (IoT). Using Big Data analytics on the collected data, they could then identify anomalies, quickly alert drivers of potentially faulty com- ponents, and enable predictive maintenance systems that increase reliability ratings and help drivers avoid breakdowns. Far-sighted auto- makers also could study daily usage patterns to uncover opportunities for operational improvements and new features and services.
This article looks at the enormous benefi ts automakers and drivers gain by connecting vehicles to the IoT for data extraction. We consider

a solution that addresses the challenges of harvesting data throughout a product’s life and continuously converting it into useful insights. We describe how this solution works with leading cloud solutions like Microsoft Azure to enable predictive analysis using machine learning. And we look at how Intel®
automotive-grade, application-ready hardware platform with the com- pute performance and connectivity to enable onboard data analysis for reduced cloud costs.
The Big Data Opportunity for Automakers The exponential growth of in-vehicle connected devices is driving automaker interest in the collection, transport, storage, and anal- ysis of their diverse data. An IHS Automotive study estimates that 152 million actively connected cars will be on the road by 2020, generating 30 terabytes (TBs) of data each day at about 350 MB per second (MBps). This is 23 times more data than the 15 MBps gener- ated in 2013. Not included are the comparable volumes of data gen- erated by instrumented test vehicles during product development before a single car is sold.
This mountain of data offers insight into the vehicles (diagnos- tics, wear, maintenance, defects) and their drivers (location, usage patterns, driving history). The IHS Automotive study estimates
