Key findings of the study:

AI is gaining popularity across the world; it has its applications in the automotive industry, such as self-driving cars. The AI offers driver-assist and fully autonomous mode functionality to the users. Companies such as Google and Tesla are looking forward to taking advantage of stated functionalities. For instance, Tesla has gained popularity in the electric car market, and now the company is looking ahead to making a position in self-driving vehicles by integrating AI.

Moreover, the application of AI cloud platforms ensures that data is accessible whenever required. As this technology monitors a number of sensors and detects issues even before they affect the vehicle operation, the automakers are in the race of taking it. For instance, in October 2018, Microsoft and Volkswagen partnered to transform the automobile company into the digital service-driven business. By extracting the power of PowerBI, Azure IoT, and Skype, Volkswagen aims to provide telematics, customer experience, and productivity solutions. Volkswagen has realized the customers' demands to know more with regard to cloud-based AI solutions. Due to this, the company has designed projects to give Over-The-Air (OTA) software updates for their vehicles.

Owing to AI benefits, such as detection of driver's behavior, AI cloud platforms to ensure data is available on-time, and driving safety features for connected vehicles are responsible, predictive maintenance is widely adopted in the automotive industry.
