Automotive Embedded Systems

Abstract

Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has contributed a key role in the field of automotive industry in the form of self-driving cars or automated vehicles (AV) with innovative features. The automotive industry is driven by various potential technologies such as sensor technology, communication techniques, machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Using AI, a lot of innovative products and applications have been developed in the automotive industry and they have reduced most of the human errors such as aggressive driving, accidents and traffic collisions, etc. This article explores AI-based applications in the automotive industry and also discusses relevant algorithms behind this new era of AV. Moreover, this article investigates the role of sensors and actuators which are the prime requisite of building an AV. This also discusses the challenges involved in the AV.
