he year is 2029, approximately 35 years after the
Internet went mainstream, and today the world, its
people, and things are connected in ways that the
Internet's pioneers could never have imagined. The
Internet of Things (IoT) or, as Cisco put it, The Internet of Everything, is now a reality, enhancing our lives in
myriad ways.
Today's vehicles are computers on wheels, able to self-diagnose and communicate with service centers, schedule appointments for servicing, and even arrange alternate transportation
during downtime. Cars, trucks, and other transportation vehicles,

such as buses and trains, communicate with each other, warning
of impending traffic problems or detours, signaling the onset of

Vehicles in 2029 also communicate with city infrastructure-everything from traffic lights to roadways-changing
signal lights on an "on-demand" basis, and advising transportation authorities on the roads that are shepherding passengers less smoothly, signaling a need for repair.
Today's smart cities offer benefits far beyond traffic and
lighting energy optimization, providing infrastructure health
assessments to city leaders on a daily basis. IoT sensors that
diagnose impending structural problems, such as increased
building or bridge vibration, have ushered in an era of structural
