Here's a piece from a wild IOT usage in a Forbes article.....worth a read while the paint dries....

The IoT system’s two-way communications technology connects with the scooters every few seconds to gather information on their location and battery usage. If the battery is running low, the operator will receive an alert from the system automatically. The system will also send warning if they are in danger of missing their departing ferry.

The scooters put the predictive functionality of the Oracle IoT Cloud to use in a unique way. Some riders brake frequently, requiring the scooter to use more energy to regain speed and causing the battery to discharge at a faster rate. Oracle IoT Cloud identifies the scooters that are being operated in this manner and flags the riders who may have difficulty getting back to the ferry on time.
