Human customers number in billions.
Machine customers will number in trillions.
A single warehouse robot makes more data queries per hour than a human does in a lifetime.
When machines become the buyers, the infrastructure serving them needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
The next customers of physical-world data won't be humans.
They'll be machines and robots.
• Warehouse robots navigating crowded environments
• Traffic systems coordinating intersections
• Drones monitoring agriculture and energy grids
They all need the same thing: perception, verification, automation.
The machine and robot economy is just beginning.
