Transportation

Self-driving cars are a revolutionary challenge that will impact the entire automotive and transportation industry in general.

At present, there are fully autonomous driving solutions that are reliable only under certain conditions. There are still ethical and legal problems to be resolved in the event of an accident, when dramatic choices have to be made by the car’s autonomous driving software. However, the adoption of AI in transportation will enable increasingly automated functions to ensure safety and quality, navigation and route optimization, predictive maintenance, and reduction of fuel or energy consumption.

The contribution of artificial intelligence is expected to prospectively provide safe, efficient and reliable transportation while minimizing the impact on the environment and communities. Current AI-based systems for autonomous driving control functions such as braking, lane changing, collision avoidance, navigation and mapping, integrating various technologies in real time. Autonomous public transportation and delivery vehicles are also emerging, and sometimes include delivery robots.
