Edge Computing for Low-Latency IoT Applications

Quick fact

A single autonomous vehicle can generate over 4 terabytes of data per day—far too much to send to the cloud. Edge computing processes most of this data locally to enable split-second decisions.

Why this is interesting

When you ask your smart speaker to turn on a light, it feels instant. But if every command had to travel to a distant data center and back, that same request could take seconds—annoying at best, dangerous for a self-driving car. How do we make IoT devices react in milliseconds?
