A connected car is a vehicle that is equipped with internet connectivity and - in most cases - a WLAN. This enables the car to access data, send data, download software and patches, communicate with other Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and provide Wi-Fi for onboard passengers. Connected vehicles have evolved to give drivers access to safety, security, navigation, infotainment, diagnostics, remote payment features and could even help you find a parking spot and anticipate a needed repair.
