Among the latest trends in technology we undoubtedly find artificial intelligence, whose market in Italy alone is already worth more than 200 million euros and is growing strongly.
Even in the automotive sector, AI applications are constantly growing - even if so far they have mainly concerned driving and vehicle diagnostics. We will think about further expanding the areas of application of this innovative technology “Guido”, one of a kind virtual assistant launched this September by automobile.it – classifieds site owned by the eBay group.
“Guido”, artificial intelligence with which it is possible to communicate via chat, it will help the user in the search for his next car, directing it to the most appropriate means for your needs.
To understand the usefulness of such a technology, just think about how complicated it is to find your way around the various car models and the dozens of fittings and engines on the market today. The virtual assistant featured in the automobile.it online magazine, after asking a few questions to the user and listening to his needs, is able to select the advertisements of the cars that meet the characteristics and the budget identified very quickly, speeding up a process that would otherwise have required the user several hours. “Guido” (available for free happening at This Page of the magazine) it can handle thousands of conversations simultaneously and process the information released by users in real time, so as to provide personalized and concrete help.
But this is only one of the many possible applications of AI for the automotive sector. From the moment of purchase, in fact, you pass to that of the guide: technology becomes essential for the new safety and comfort systems, so much so that according to recent analyzes by 2025 the 98% of vehicles will be connected and remotely from others 10 years on 75% it will be self-driving.
Autonomous driving is today a much discussed issue, given the various steps forward made only in recent years which have introduced increasingly advanced driving assistance systems. Today some cars are able to read the road, understand the signs and foresee any unexpected events or difficulties depending on the situation in which you find yourself, consequently increasing safety on board.
Artificial intelligence applied to the automotive world is there, therefore, only at the beginning of its path and still has a lot to offer including new services and increasingly cutting-edge technologies.
