Three Ways AI Is Impacting The Automotive Industry  

 

The article I picked highlighted points about self-driving cars with artificial intelligence such as the accident prevention, car buying behaviors tracked by AI, and in car assistants like voice assistants. Artificial intelligence over the years has grown and begun to transform innovations within car manufacturers especially with safety. One of the main companies that really gave light to self-driving cars is Tesla. Tesla’s primary innovation is with AI powered interior and exterior cameras to improve safety.Basically, the cameras track the drivers eyes for any signs of loss of focus to prevent accidents. Secondly, Porsche has utilized AI to  recommend customers who are interested in buying cars recommended car packages based on the individual. Unfortunately, this interesting process of buying a car hasn’t been super effective due to the supply chain issues occurring around the world. Lastly, In-car assistance such as voice activated commands have become accessible in a majority of cars nowadays. As time progresses researchers are continuously working to develop hands free AI that understands language’s many complex commands. As AI continues to improve and grow, the car industry will also have a direct relationship with it as well. 

 

Reading the article really helped me understand some of my questions about AI and the certain features that have been innovated in the car market. One of the main questions I was looking for was the safety features that come with AI technology because there’s many different types. One that was mentioned in the article was engineered by Tesla. Besides the self-driving features, Tesla designed cameras in and outside the cabin of the car to monitor not only the drivers present around the car but also inside the car. I thought that it’s mind blowing that now we are able to not only be almost completely autonomous behind the wheel but also significantly improve the safety on the roads. The information in the article has slightly refocused what questions I may ask when I look over my thesis again because the information is more specific as opposed to a question that’s very broad.
