Close your eyes and imagine yourself getting into your car to go to work. Already conditioned to the right temperature and cabin configuration, you get in and, having learned from your pattern, the car asks you to confirm if you are going to the office again. Although your car may not yet be able to navigate unsupervised in the busy urban area where you live, you can keep your hands off the wheel and let the car negotiate its way through congested roads while you keep an eye on it.
Soon enough your car informs you that you now can relax, take your eyes off the road as it drives you to work, some 45 minutes away. In the meantime, you can catch up on the news, clear your email inbox, run your first two meetings, or simply finish watching last night’s episode of your favourite series.
The automotive industry is now on a steady march toward realising this vision using AI in the car. Previous predictions of fully autonomous private cars roaming city roads have given space to more pragmatic approaches. Automotive OEMs are now focused on expanding the operational design domains (ODDs) of L2+/++ Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS) and L3 Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS) as a stepping stone to higher levels of autonomy and automated driving.
