Bengaluru: Artificial Intelligence can reduce road accidents, says a study

BENGALURU: Artificial Intelligence influences driving behaviour and could reduce fatal road incidents by 2035, says a study conducted by the Indian Institute of Science along with Zoomcar and Netradyne. Netradyne had commissioned its vision-based driver assistance and safety platform'Driveri' in 500 Zoomcars on a pilot basis. "Driver is an advanced driver-assistance system that analyses the driving journey, road data and also monitors driving behaviour through AI. Driveri is equipped with four HD inward- and outward-looking cameras that record and trigger voice alerts based on driving incidents in real time," the release said. Driveri's voice alerts and outward camera features were activated in 250 test cars, and in the remaining 250, the outward camera was switched on but the voice-alert feature deactivated.
