Now, we will use Python as our main programming language to generate MQTT clients that will act as publishers and subscribers. We will connect a Python MQTT client to the MQTT server and we will process commands to control a small vehicle with MQTT messages. The small vehicle replicates many capabilities found in real-life road vehicles.
