AUTO NEWS [Oman Economic Review (OER)]


(Oman Economic Review (OER) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LAND ROVER TO DEVELOP SELF- LEARNING INTELLIGENT CAR Cutting-edge technology is being pioneered by researchers at Jaguar Land Rover to develop a truly intelligent self-learning vehicle that will offer a completely personalised driving experience and help prevent accidents by reducing driver distraction. Using the latest machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, Jaguar Land Rover's self-learning car will offer a comprehensive array of services to the driver, courtesy of a new learning algorithm that recognises who is in the car and learns their preferences and driving style. The software then applies this learning by using a range of variables including your calendar, the time of day, traffic conditions and the weather to predict driver behaviour and take over many of the daily driving 'chores', allowing the driver to concentrate on the road ahead.
