Can AI keep you from getting in a car wreck? Toyota is betting on it - TechRepublic

A car accident is one of the most frightening experiences a driver can have. But, how would you feel about an artificial intelligence (AI) system taking over to keep you safe? That's just what Japanese automaker Toyota is planning. Gill Pratt, CEO of the Toyota Research Institute (TRI), said that the manufacturer is working on driver assistance systems with built-in AI to improve safety, as originally reported by Reuters. Pratt said that the new system will "improve car safety by enabling vehicles to anticipate and avoid potential accident situations."
