Artificial Intelligence systems for autonomous driving on the rise

As the complexity and penetration of technology in automobiles increases, there is a growing need for solutions that support artificial intelligence, which uses machines and programs to emulate the functions of the human brain. In fact, unit shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) systems used in automobiles are expected to rise from 7 million in 2015 to 122 million by 2025, according to IHS. The attach rate of AI-based systems in new vehicles was 8 percent in 2015, and the vast majority were focused on speech recognition. However, that number is forecast to rise to 109 percent in 2025, as there will be multiple AI systems of various types installed in many cars. "An artificial-intelligence system continuously learns from experience and by its ability to discern and recognize its surroundings. It learns, as human beings do, from real sounds, images, and other sensory inputs. The system recognizes the car's environment and evaluates the contextual implications for the moving car."
