To do this, Canada should develop an infrastructure that we call the Internet of Things. If I want a self-driving vehicle to travel on Canadian roads, with some data gathered and other data provided, we need to have the necessary infrastructure to make this connection possible. The Internet of Things is one of the major components of this infrastructure. Sensors must be installed everywhere to communicate and provide the necessary data for the car to travel. Without this infrastructure, the self-driving car won't be able to travel from one end of Canada to the other.
