Connected Cars: Driving Humankind toward Greener Pastures at Milpitas Library

The advent of motor vehicles ushered in a new wave of productivity for humankind. It created economics of scale never known or seen before. Unfortunately, it also silently started to hurt the very environment that we live in. Increasing carbon emissions around the world have created irrecoverable damage on Mother Earth. New inventions like the electric car are slowly but steadily helping stop, and in some cases reverse, the damage being done, but a lot more still needs to be done.

We have to change and optimize the way we drive, lower the number of miles driven on a daily basis, and adopt technologies to develop efficient least travel patterns, improve gas mileage, and predict breakdowns. The connected cars of today can help us achieve these goals - by the simple OBDII diagnostic outlet. Big Data technologies can help us take all these data and churn it into information that can be used by individuals and businesses alike.

This talk will showcase with a live demo of how today’s connected cars are driving humankind toward greener pastures. General aspects of Big Data and the ways and means by which it can be harnessed for various applications in the energy domain will be covered.

Please join us for this special EcoGreen Group presentation event. Attendance is free. Please register for the event on Eventbrite. Additional info and driving info is available on the Meetup site. For any questions, please email events@ecogg.org.
