This week in IoT, autonomous and connected car technology dominates, with Renault demoing its latest concept vehicle. There was some major Irish success in the world of internet of things (IoT) hardware manufacturing, with Dublin-based DecaWave winning a major international award. The company was honoured at this year's Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA) awards – the industry's'Oscars' – with the Start-up to Watch award. In its announcement of the winners, the GSA said that DecaWave was chosen as it was "a company that has demonstrated the potential to positively change its market or the industry through the innovative use of semiconductor technology or a new application for semiconductor technology". Meanwhile, in the consumer world, a report from Cisco has shown that the adoption of IoT devices is in jeopardy if consumers are not confident in the safety of products.
