A recent study shows that Indians want driverless cars more than anyone else in the world. However, are driverless cars going to be a reality in India? Last year in Dec18, Union Transports Minister, Mr. Nitin Gadkari announced that the Government will not entertain driverless car operations in India as it could result in employment loses for the masses. It could be one of the reasons. However, Is India ready for the driver-less cars now?

Blockchain and autonomous vehicles is a perfect match. The combination of both concepts facilitate monetary transactions and mitigate the risks of hacking. Self-driving vehicles, which once appeared in the sci-fi movies only, are now becoming an everyday reality. We see a sudden hype in the concept of autonomous cars, as industry leaders are on their way to redefining transportation. The market size for autonomous vehicles is projected to grow to 6 billion U.S. dollars by 2025.

Technology has changed how we used to do things. When it comes to transportation, we have come a long way of exploiting fuels like petrol and diesel to harnessing electricity and solar energy. Our resources have become purer that does not affect the ecosystem and also producing more efficiency than ever. In the forthcoming years, there are chances of many improvements in the way we commute. Artificial Intelligence is nothing but creating a mind so powerful that it can correct its own mistake to give an optimized work output.

There's a scene in Black Panther where Shuri, Letiticia Wright's character, hops into a car seat and remotely drives a sleek Lexus Sedan through the streets of Busan, Korea. While not quite a driverless car experience, remote driving offers a tantalizing imagining of the future of transportation. These are, after all, heady times for the transportation industry. Google and Uber are testing self-driving cars at this very moment. Drone deliveries from Amazon will happen sooner rather later.

Interesting video by Boston Dynamics about robots helping each other to open a door. Maybe next time it will be about robots fighting against each other. Think about two armies at war against each other, with each soldier (a robot) collaborating with his team to fight the enemy (consisting of robots as well.) You could make a movie out of it! A more peaceful example of applications is driver-less cars.

AI was very popular 30 years ago, then disappeared, and is now making a big come back because of new robotic technologies: driver-less cars, automated diagnostic, IoT (including vacuum cleaning and other household robots), automated companies with zero employee, soldier robots, and much more. Will AI replace data scientists? I think so, though data scientists will be initially replaced by "low intelligence" yet extremely stable and robust systems. There has been a lot of discussions about the automated statistician. I am myself developing data science techniques such as Jackknife regression that are simple, robust, suitable for black-box, machine-to-machine communications or other automated use, and easy to understand and pilot by the layman, just like a Google driver-less car can be "driven" by an 8 years old kid.

Honda Motor Co. will open a new artificial intelligence (AI) research center in Tokyo to commercialize self-driving cars in the future. Honda R&D Co., Honda's research and development subsidiary, announced on June 2 that it will establish Honda R&D Innovation Lab Tokyo by around September in Tokyo's Akasaka district. The move came as Japanese auto companies are desperately seeking personnel who specialize in the cutting-edge area. AI is viewed as the core technology to develop futuristic driverless vehicles. Honda already has a research center in the northern Kanto region, but it will set up a new facility in the capital to hire more skilled information technology engineers.
