Momentum in the auto tech industry is at an all-time high, with startups in the space receiving a record number of financing deals in 2015. Meanwhile, the industry has seen a wave of high-profile corporate acquisitions, partnerships, and new initiatives in self-driving vehicle development.
Until 2012, there had been no significant changes within the automobile industry for 15 years. But that year — 2012, marked an inflection point from which myriad innovative opportunities emerged. Tesla showed us the power of a truly connected car with API’s that could remotely access a vehicle’s data and fix issues with over-the-air updates.

Since then, in just a four year period, the connected car market has transformed significantly.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch or free energy, right? Not necessarily. Drayson Technologies, the London startup founded by Lord Paul Drayson, a very successful serial entrepreneur and former U.K. government science minister, is commercialising technology that harvests energy from radio frequency (RF) signals to potentially power a range of low-consumption devices.
These include products in the IoT space, including the company’s own proof-of-concept air pollution sensor, and even wearables that don’t require too much power.
