DXC Technology: Autonomous driving solutions for the future

If we believed cartoons and sci-fi films from back yonder, 2022 would be a world rife with automated flying cars, beyond-comprehension tech capabilities, and a fully-digitised world replete with true AI and AI robotics - take?The Jetsons, for example, a kooky cartoon comedy from 1962 that imagined life in the future.

While this imagined world is still a fair way off in the future, many companies around the world are researching, integrating and assessing digital technology’s role in autonomous processes, such as driving, in order to realise this technologically-astounding predicted world of the future.?

Dr. Hans Beck, autonomous driving advisor and Coordinator of Data Science and AI at DXC EMEA, is particularly interested in the ways AI can revolutionise and propel the development of self-driving cars and autonomous driving solutions. This is especially true in the wake of the global pandemic, which saw a quick turnaround of innovation to speed up machine learning and AI processes across everyday applications. For many businesses, this period turned into - or spurred on - a complete digital transformation.

As digital transformation continues to drive change in the automotive industry, Beck added: “I think the industry realises how AI changes everything. Car companies have shifted from assembling parts for their suppliers to become software development companies themselves. One of the biggest changes is with the major manufacturers transforming to focus more on software-driven development and processes. Not everything is around the vehicle anymore. It's more around the software which is in the vehicle. So that needs big changes in the thinking and approach of car markers. It requires a radical shift in how they develop and organise themselves.”
