AI is gaining traction due to its advancements in self-driving and driver assistance technology. Autonomous driving is one of the most complex AI activities, requiring computer vision, lidar tech, sensor fusion, 3D representations of the environment and a control algorithm that calculates actuations based on the destination.
This technology can reduce costs for distribution companies by allowing autonomous truck fleets and providing drivers with ridesharing options. It can also drastically reduce road fatalities since vehicle behavior would be more predictable.
