Another given example is the ability of smart meters and energy grids that has the capability to match the loads and generation capacity to be able to save cost on electricity. Autonomous type of systems such as those being installed in cars provide preventive measures to avoid accidents. Sensors the detects distance and time of before the collision allow vehicles to automatically apply breaks to avoid accidents.
