Imagine you want your new smart thermostat to quickly turn up the heat so that your house will be warm after your get home from work on an unusually cold day. You connect from your smartphone and ask it to act. You won't know it, but that action may take several seconds as it moves your request to the cloud and receives instructions back. Now imagine the self-driving car you're in suddenly senses a dog running into the road in front of you. The car needs to react in milliseconds to avoid a disaster.
