1. Artificial Intelligence Solutions Within the Automotive Industry Francisco Illanes, Iain Letourneau Nathan Hupman& Max Jackman

2. Why AI for car safety is important. http://hyperradiant.net/car_crash_fail.jpg

3. Introduction The subject of research is Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the automotive industry. Many advances have been made to make vehicles “smarter” and safer - Advances in Collision Detection - Parking Assistance Technology -AI-Assisted Controls -Conclusion

4. Definiton LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging): A mixture of radar and laser technology, which measures scattered light to find range or other information on a distant target through the use of laser pulses. You will often see police officers using lidar equipment to track vehicle’s speed. GFLOP: A unit for measuring calculations per second, 1 GFLOP being equal to 1 billion calculations per second. GHz: Measurement of speed in cycles per second, in this case applied to measure the speed of a computer’s processor. 1 GHz is equal to 1 billion cycles per second.
