Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicles, including self-driving cars, drones, and automated delivery robots, rely on AI technologies to navigate and make real-time driving decisions without human control. These vehicles use a combination of computer vision, sensor fusion, LiDAR, GPS, and deep learning to analyze road conditions, avoid obstacles, and determine the best routes.
Self-driving cars from companies like Tesla, Waymo, and Uber are at the forefront of AI-powered transportation. These cars use neural networks to interpret traffic signals, predict pedestrian movement, and adjust speed dynamically to ensure safe driving. AI enables them to improve their driving performance over time through machine learning.
Drones equipped with AI are widely used in logistics, agriculture, and surveillance. In logistics, companies like Amazon and UPS deploy AI-powered drones for automated package delivery. In agriculture, drones with AI-powered image recognition monitor crop health and optimize irrigation.
Automated ground delivery robots, such as those developed by Starship Technologies, are transforming urban logistics by autonomously delivering food and groceries in cities. These robots use AI-based obstacle detection and route optimization to ensure efficient delivery.
