"With M2M communication, one machine is talking to another and making decisions without a human intervening. How big is this? Over the last several years, the Chinese have built a city larger than Silicon Valley dedicated to machine-to-machine communication. They predict that within the next five years they’ll have a billion machines talking to each other, just within China alone. Of course, they’re not the only ones doing this. In the United States and in every other country, we are beginning to get our machines talking to each other. So instead of having discreet and lonely siloed systems, we’re creating connected systems that can work more efficiently and effectively. In other words, we’re giving our machines the ability to take all the connected data and talk to each other so they can make decisions without having to ask us. Here’s a simple example of machines making decisions on their own. You may have seen the television commercial for a new car where the person is backing out of the driveway and, unbeknownst to the driver, there’s a baby carriage in the way that he does not see. But the car senses something in the way and applies the brake without the driver initiating the stop".
