I agree totally with Siwastaja above. In a presentation on electric vehicles I went to recently, the guy (who is big in this field) said that nobody in the industry has any idea how to make a self driving vehicle which can do what human drivers can do in good conditions. Even if they had 1000x the CPU power they would not know how to do it. And then you get less than favourable conditions, bad light, snow, etc. Any skiers here? Try skiing in the shadow of a hill, if the snow is smooth. It takes a lot of cues. Even parking in a supermarket car park is orders of magnitude beyond today's software expertise. |

We may argue here until hell freezes over, but the fact is that AI, specifically AI applied to the automotive sector, will be the next technology differentiator which separates the prosperous from the struggling countries. With the German auto sector -for the time being- still considered the world's premiere, and such an important part of the German economy, it would be darn foolish not to invest in AI research focused to the automotive sector. There was even an article on the Deutsche Welle discussing this topic. It focuses on AI as a whole, not only automotive AI. https://www.dw.com/en/skeptical-germany-lags-behind-on-artificial-intelligence/a-51828604 Whoever develops an automotive grade AI "standard", will lead the world's industry for the next decades. As an example of automotive technological leadership, just look at CANBUS. |
