Proprietary and Confidential
Some decisions can be delegated to the edge assets. The engines now in effect have a mind of their own.
Newer, higher order languages will become prevalent in safety-related systems and one more barrier to innovation is removed for machines becoming brilliant.

Removing barriers to Smart IOT
Looming Crisis
Too many devices
Lots of sensors
Low level languages not suitable for advanced algorithms
Julia
Strong mathematical foundation
High performance, high productivity
