Artificial intelligence as auto companies' new engine of value

What opportunities does AI open up for mobility, and how can OEMs capture them in the short and long run? For more than two years now, the automotive industry has been talking about four disruptive and mutually reinforcing major trends--autonomous driving, connectivity, electrification, and shared mobility. These trends are expected to fuel growth within the market for mobility, change the rules of the mobility sector, and lead to a shift from traditional to disruptive technologies and innovative business models. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key technology for all four of the trends. Autonomous driving, for example, relies on AI because it is the only technology that enables the reliable, real-time recognition of objects around the vehicle.
