Autonomous Things

Autonomous things will be one of the most important technology trends in the coming years.  Advances in sensors, networks, storage, AI and analytics all mean that the application of technology to enable the automation of physical objects is now both scaleable and deployable.  While much of the press coverage centres around driverless cars, the application of automonous things is much wider, from the use of drones for parcel delivery to autonomous home appliances.
