Honda says AI will be like having a helpful companion along for the ride, as the Japanese automaker showed how it is designing a new era of technology for the 0 Series
Honda is hoping to make driving less stressful by using artificial intelligence. The technology aims to learn your daily routines, anticipate your needs and benefit from regular over-the-air updates.
Honda also imagines a future where there are no more traffic fatalities and has set a target of 2050 for when there will be zero traffic fatalities involving Honda automobiles or motorcycles. It isn’t the first car company to explore this concept, and accident-free roadways aren’t as far-fetched as they might seem.
With myriad cameras and sensors, the surroundings are continuously monitored. When your summoned car arrives, it will be able to analyze your face using advanced facial recognition technology similar to what’s used by airport security, the company says. It can also recognize passengers if it has “scanned” them before. If you approach the vehicle with a child in a stroller, it would first unlock the back door so you can strap in your child and then pop the tailgate for the stroller.
There are instances where being tracked by sensors could be useful; if you fall asleep or become incapacitated, the system could take appropriate safety measures autonomously. But I’m not sure we need to be scanned for entry. Most vehicles nowadays don’t even need you to pull the key out of your pocket; you approach the door and open it. It’s already as easy as it gets.
For Honda to realize its mission of zero traffic fatalities, self-driving technology and AI will be crucial. The Honda Legend, available for lease in Japan, is fitted with a Level 3 autonomous driving system.
