In the 2005 film Batman Begins, Batman uses a sophisticated computer system to remotely control the Batmobile (called the Tumbler), and also uses a voice-activated command system to interact with the Batmobile, which is a must-see. It was not a sci-fi work. Not so in 2023. Of course, your car may not have a machine gun or anti-gravity mode (yet), but with artificial intelligence (AI)-based features such as self-driving technology and voice-activated virtual assistants, You are no less than Batman.
AI is now being used in automobiles in a number of ways to improve performance, safety and the overall driving experience. AI-powered systems that can control the acceleration, braking, and control of a car, such as Tesla’s Autopilot or Cadillac’s Super Cruise. It can steer without human intervention, monitor driver behavior for signs of fatigue and distraction, warn the driver if necessary, and take control of the vehicle. Driver monitoring systems such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Indian automakers such as Mercedes-Benz India have already noticed some of these advances. Santosh Ayer, M.D. and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India said, “In our cars, we have features such as ‘Hey Mercedes’ (voice assist), Active Brake Assist and Gesture Control. “But they’re becoming more intelligent as they leverage and integrate technology.” From a customer service perspective, by agreeing to select “remote diagnosis” in the Mercedes me app, the company’s service team will monitor the vehicle’s condition and perform a quick remote diagnosis to save the customer’s time. you will be able to save money. Additionally, the company integrates AI into production, combining smart manufacturing processes, connected systems, and human skills.
Experts believe that today’s use cases for AI in the automotive space go beyond the cars themselves and have the potential to transform supply chains, sales and even the manufacturing process itself. Companies with technology at their core will emerge as the clear winners. “Among auto companies, culture is the clear differentiation, not AI. And this is a very old dilemma between technology and business. Technology can achieve a lot. But technology alone can’t do much if the business itself is resistant to disruption,” said Pedro Pacheco, vice president analyst at Gartner. For automakers like Tesla, software is a top priority. “This makes it much easier to redefine business models that can derive maximum business benefit from software. It’s the tallest,” he explains.
Auto accessories manufacturers in India, which have heavily adopted technology, including Industry 4.0 digital tools, feel that AI will take their business to the next level. “When AI becomes a business opportunity, it will take off pretty quickly, not just as product disruption, but as process and manufacturing disruption,” said Sona, chairman of his ComStar and head of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA). Chairman Sanjay Kapoor said. “Machine learning (ML) and AI will enable remote maintenance. Used to make processes more efficient and eliminate waste, cybersecurity will play a big role in every industry.” Rajeev Singh, Partner and Consumer Industry Leader, Deloitte Asia Pacific, agrees. “It will require less maintenance. Moving forward, we will move from periodic services to predictive services,” he says.
Labor costs are up about 10-12% year-over-year, Singh said, but this can be managed through automation and AI. There will be great changes in the nature of these jobs and the number of people employed. At the same time, new jobs are being created. ”
Gartner’s Pacheco also believes that jobs in the auto industry themselves are not threatened by AI. “AI is not yet as advanced as it needs to be.Today, we are far from a ‘lights out’ factory that is fully automated and does not require humans to be on site or run the factory. In the short term, I don’t see AI as a job-killing monster for cars,” he says.
