<p>Many people have been making fantastic claims about things like IoT and driverless vehicles, that may in the end turn out to be true, but where is the first clear ROI case going to be made that stimulates adoption? InterDigital&rsquo;s Jim Nolan, Executive Vice President of IoT Solutions, poses this question in his latest article featured on EDN.com yesterday. &nbsp;</p>

He details the inefficiency/source of lost revenue in trucking, the technology being proposed to address the inefficiencies and the compelling ROI that could be delivered. To illustrate the current progress in driverless trucking, Jim provides numerous examples including the formation of a new company, <a href="http://ot.to/">Otto</a>, which recently formed with the goal of turning legacy commercial trucks into self-driving trucks by retrofitting hardware kits to existing truck models.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/talking-things/4442277/Driverless-trucks--ROI-triggers-in-IoT-adoption">Click here</a> to read the full &ldquo;Driverless Trucks: ROI Trigggers in IoT Adoption.&rdquo; &nbsp;</p>
