Brief System Functioning Description

Updating and Retrieving Cars' List (IoT project driven)

1. Car holds its own password that is only known by the user.
2. Car enters the parking lot after the authentication mentioned above.
3. Car sends a HTTP/POST request to the server, which contains its IP address along with its type/name.
