In 2020, Toyota will begin testing its self-driving electric cars. In addition to being self-driving, it will be equipped with an artificial intelligence system capable of having a conversation with the driver.
The automaker presented its idea of talked smart cars at the start of the year, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas 2017. Toyota showed the AI model, which is powered by AI. Yue is expected to provide a number of benefits, as well as monitoring the driver's driving patterns, attention, schedule and more.
Toyota said in a press release at the time: the interface begins with the visual representation of Yue, designed to interact with people from different cultures. With the Yue near the dashboard, large lines are scattered on the interior surface of the Model 1 on the driver's and passenger's side and throughout the vehicle, with interior forms designed to enhance Yue's ability to use light, sound and touch to convey important information.
According to Reuters, Toyota is committed to forging a relationship between the driver and AI because it competes with other automakers and technology companies that have also invested in autonomous cars and AI. To this end, Toyota is investing $ 1 billion to develop both concepts from this year to 2020
“Through the use of artificial intelligence technology, we want to expand and develop the driving experience, giving cars an emotional dimension,” said Makoto Okabe, general manager of Toyota's electric business planning division.
Great competition
Toyota is not the first company to want to use artificial intelligence to improve the driving experience. In July, Honda announced it would partner with Softbank to consider using artificial intelligence to achieve sound driving. In December, it unveiled a car engine equipped with artificial intelligence techniques capable of showing emotions to help drivers by providing weather and traffic information in a delightful voice.
At the same time, Ford invested in Argo AI in February to enhance its AI expertise by the time it released its first self-driving car in 2021. GM invested in startups running AI for some purposes, Like Noto, which also received funding from BMW.
Noting the stunning impact of self-driving technologies on business and society, Noto CEO Stefan Heck said in July that we could now conduct millions of hands-on tests and collect the data needed to determine the best driving conditions.
Toyota's work will certainly become more difficult when self-driving cars begin to function fully. Automakers have stepped up investments in self-driving cars as well as electric vehicles, increasing competition and creating sophisticated designs. One of the reasons for this competition is driver-driven AI, and we are eager to see what other cutting-edge technologies are being released by automakers.
