Comment: How AI, data, and software are transforming automotive safety
Summary
Innovations such as Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), adaptive cruise control and anti-lock brakes emerged during this era, significantly improving car safety. The transition to the software-defined car running on a core compute system is like adding a superpower of real-world, real-time insight and the ability to write new instructions back to the product to respond even better the next time around. It requires the most advanced connectivity to enable car communication, cybersecurity protocols to ensure safety, edge computing to reduce latency and a data warehouse to power machine learning. Success is about continuous innovation, hard work and collaboration, empowering software engineers to make meaningful change in the world by combining energy, matter and code in new ways. Thanks to our recent technological transformation, we can harness the power of AI, data and software to build safer cars more efficiently than ever before, bringing us closer to our ambition of a zero-collision future.
