===6. Future Vision and Business Implications===

'''6.1. Vehicles as Edge Platforms'''
Just like smartphones, vehicles will host apps that:
Provide ride-sharing capabilities.
Monitor infrastructure.
Run entertainment or diagnostic services.
OEMs could open SDKs for 3rd-party app development, creating a new vehicle app economy.

'''6.2. Distributed AI at the Edge'''
Future systems will involve collaborative intelligence, where vehicles communicate with other vehicles and infrastructure to jointly solve navigation, perception, and safety problems.

'''6.3. Greener Cities and Sustainable Transport'''
Edge-driven predictive maintenance, optimized routing, and dynamic parking can reduce fuel usage and improve traffic flow, supporting sustainability goals.
