"Rebooting...please don't turn off your car...Updating...please don't turn off your car...WindowCar10 update failed...rebooting....please wait...OH MY GOD A PEDEST.!"...CRUNCH!!!

increases driving comfort and convenience.

...and there is that word CONVENIENCE again...siren song to all those sailing the technological sea...toward Worlds' End.

ie. Vehicle-to-X : X = An UNKNOWN, a VARIABLE, a TREASURE, a...PRECIOUSSSS...

Ubiquitous Sensor Web

The last line of news articles has become the most important these days...

A pedestrian with a wearable device is walking toward the road, concealed by a parked vehicle. The device is located by nearby intelligent roadside infrastructure that is connected to the Azure cloud.

This IAV and Microsoft solution incorporates Azure IoT Suite, connected vehicle and infrastructure data, and Cortana Analytics for predictive hazard modelling.

Cloud solutions of this nature can be used to transfer information from the surrounding environment, like traffic light sensors, into the connected vehicle to better predict safety procedures.

Queue mandatory wearable devices for all pedestrians...
