CAR experts have used artificial intelligence to predict which auto elements would make the safest vehicle of the future.
AI technology determined that refined autonomous driving features would be a major part of motor safety moving forward.
The automatic driving tech that AI decided would be necessary for the safest hi-tech automobile may mean lower car insurance premiums and accident rates in the future, Insurify reported.
Of course, there are still some things today’s drivers would have to adapt to when it comes to futuristic autonomous vehicles.
Viability and insurance considerations are also hurdles that society would have to face with the vehicle AI imagined as the safest of the future.
Within the last century, cars have had a lot of safety advancements like seat belts, airbags, and anti-lock brakes.
There have been even more recent safety features that show the lean toward cars having more autonomy like lane-departure sensors and warnings.
Even automatic emergency braking is a newer motor function that can make driving safer.
Despite the strides toward auto safety made in the past, thousands of Americans die in car crashes each year.
Nearly 41,000 fatal accidents occurred in 2023, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
In recent years, the automotive industry has started testing and improving autonomous driving technology.
When it comes to more autonomy, AI predicted that the safest automobile of the future would need a ‘smart driving companion.’
That means it’d have advanced Al assistance providing real-time coaching and support.
The robot auto assistant also analyzes driving conditions and offers advice to improve safety on the road based on the car’s environment and the driver’s behavior.
One of the biggest players in autonomous vehicles and the most widely available one is Tesla.
Though the electric cars have auto driving elements, Tesla cars arent fully functional without a driver steering in some instances.
The electric vehicles only automate steering, braking and acceleration in specific situations.
In some instances, Tesla cars require the driver to be alert and respond when necessary.
The AI’s prediction also included ‘aerodynamic adaptability,’ which means vehicles would be equipped with adaptive body panels.
This feature would alter the car’s shape to improve vehicle stability and handling which would be responsive to changing driving conditions.
Artificial intelligence’s imagined safest car would also have ‘electric propulsion management.’
This feature would monitor and manage the automobile’s electric powertrain health, address its battery condition, prevent overheating and integrate dynamic charging.
The must-have renewable power-generating body panels would alter the vehicle’s shape for optimal performance.
The element also collects solar and kinetic energy that would power safety features and the future’s safest car’s onboard systems.
One especially future-forward safety function AI says the vehicle would have is an onboard ‘VR driver’s ed’ feature.
The in-car virtual reality system would be able to help drivers practice emergency maneuvers and safety procedures.
It’d only simulate the person behind the wheel in a virtual environment when the car is parked and stationary, of course.
