Smart Cars<br />
AI is transforming the automotive industry in every<br />
way imaginable. From enabling material<br />
procurement and predictive maintenance in the<br />
manufacturing process to powering autonomous cars, AI is<br />
at the heart of it all. The automotive business is among the<br />
industries at the vanguard of using AI to mimic, augment,<br />
and support the actions of humans as well as leveraging<br />
the advanced reaction times and pinpoint precision of<br />
machine-based systems. Indeed, today’s semi-autonomous<br />
vehicles and the fully autonomous vehicles of the future<br />
will rely heavily on AI systems.<br />
Although self-driven vehicles might be the most<br />
perceptible beneficiaries of AI and there’s more to this. AI<br />
change is taking place on all fronts, such as consumer<br />
interfaces that identify the preferences of individual<br />
drivers, self-learning analytical systems that warn of<br />
imminent failures, navigation systems that use real-time<br />
data and traffic modeling to shorten travel and ride-hailing<br />
applications that maximize the use of the fleet of a cab<br />
aggregator. Plus, it is bestowing entirely new ways for<br />
people to get around as well as keep them connected, stay<br />
on schedule, and secure the driver while driving.<br />
The Competition is Hard Yet Healthy<br />
Five years ago, autonomous driving has gone from<br />
“maybe possible”—“surely possible”—to “commercially<br />
approved”. Last year, Waymo, the company which<br />
emerged from Google’s self-driving-car project, officially<br />
started its commercial self-driving-car service in the<br />
suburbs of Phoenix. Likewise, According to the 2018<br />
KPMG Autonomous Vehicle Readiness Index (AVRI),<br />
countries like The Netherlands, Singapore, United States,<br />
Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, etc. are some of the<br />
top prepared countries globally for self-driving vehicles.<br />
Out of which, Netherlands has taken the top spot and is<br />
thus the most prepared country for the introduction of selfdriving<br />
vehicles.<br />
Today, one can imagine a future where carmakers don’t<br />
sell cars, but maintain convoys of self-driving vehicles,<br />
allowing consumers to use ride-on-demand services. The<br />
customer hail a cab controlled by an AI through an AIdriven<br />
fleet management system and once inside, other AI<br />
systems will personalize the route and infotainment<br />
according to customers past preferences. As a customer<br />
begin his ride, the cab will communicate with other<br />
vehicles around to keep the customer safe. Following are<br />
some futuristic developments in autonomous vehicles that<br />
are revolutionizing empowering the utilization of selfdrive<br />
vehicles.<br />
