AI promises to create a deeply personal and customized driving experience. Instead of thinking of the car as a transportation tool, imagine it as a partner that anticipates the level of involvement each person wants. One day, it simply acts as an extra set of eyes seeing around blind corners, tracking pedestrians or cyclists. The next, it checks the family calendar, sees dance class that afternoon, and picks up the kids on its own before coming back to the office so the family can drive home together.
This reality is within reach. In fact, AI is shaping every aspect of the automotive industry, from driving to design to manufacturing. Vehicle concepting, dashboard displays, and automotive assembly are all experiencing unprecedented innovation with the adoption of GPU-acceleration and deep learning.
