AI Takes the Wheel : When you think about AI in the automotive world, self-driving cars are also the first things you think about However, artificial intelligence is playing a much bigger role in transforming the automotive industry as a whole, sparking innovations in vehicle safety, manufacturing and customer experience.
Vehicles with AI & Autonomous Capabilities
The big news headlines in the automotive world are about self-driving, autonomous vehicles. As the power of AI continues to grow and as sensors and cameras become more powerful and sophisticated, the groundwork is being laid for fully autonomous self-driving vehicles. Such systems rely heavily on AI technology such as sensors, cameras and machine learning algorithms, which
allows driverless cars to leverage a wide variety of data to minimize the likelihood of human error and enhance road safety. Although everything from “level 5” full on self driving vehicles to Fully Autonomous Vehicles are still well out of reach of the average car buyer, companies like Waymo are constantly demonstrating real-world viability of self-driving vehicles, even if a human is still in the loop.Although we are not there yet when it comes to widespread, fully autonomous self-driving vehicles, AI
is putting more intelligence into today’s human-operated vehicles. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) already rely more and more on artificial intelligence (AI) to offer features such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and parking assistance. The systems leverage AI and data from cameras, radar and sensors to help drivers make safer decisions, prevent accidents and even park better.
AI has also improved the in-vehicle experience. One way AI is helping the drivers and passengers is personalizing the in-vehicle experience by automatically adjusting the seat position, climate control, and infotainment preferences depending on the habits and preferences of the driver. AI-Powered Voice Assistant – AI tech can let drivers control their vehicles through voice and natural language commands, helping reduce distracted driving, and increasing convenience and comfort.
