Artificial intelligence (AI) will have a profound impact on our lives in the coming years and decades. Already, it has had a profound impact on the way that we drive our cars, and it will also help to make them safer, as vehicles can make decisions on your behalf and much quicker than you can.
Machine Learning Makes Autonomous Driving Possible
Currently, no vehicles are available for purchase that allow for true autonomous driving. However, systems have been developed that would enable vehicles to keep track of where they are on the highway and make certain moves for you. For instance, your car may be able to park itself, make a lane change, or nudge you back into your lane if it senses that you aren't paying attention. There are also limited hands-free driving modes that allow you to take your hands off the wheel, but even then, you still have to be alert in case the car hands control back to you.
AI Helps Detect Objects in the Road
While your car may not be able to drive itself, AI can still make your next trip to the store or work much safer. This is because it can detect objects in your vehicle's path and activate the brakes long before you know of any potential issues. It can also sound the alarm or apply the brakes if you are about to strike an object at low speeds, such as while backing out of a parking space.
