This AI-powered cockpit knows when to cut off the driver
Fully self-driving cars are still a thing of the future. But in today’s laboratories, the technology ranges from commonly used cruise control systems to so much automation that humans don’t need to get into a car at all.
In Taiwan, a startup is developing a driver’s cockpit that’s comfortable and packed with artificial intelligence features that transfers control of the vehicle to the computer whenever the system senses that the human driver is sick, tired, distracted or just sloppy.
