After missing out on the phone business, Intel wants to get in early on smart cars. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich on Tuesday reiterated the chipmaker's goal of getting into smart cars and connectivity at Fortune's Brainstorm Tech Conference. He also acknowledged that it was too late for Intel to go after the already mature phone business. The speech underscored how connected cars, which include self-driving vehicles that use data to drive themselves, represent the next frontier of the mobile business. The cars require a mammoth amount of data in order to participate in the internet of things, or the concept that everything around us is online and talking to each other. Intel and other companies, like Google and AT&T, are working on smartening up vehicles.
