Volkswagen Dealer Serving Avondale Looks Ahead to Artificial Intelligence on the Road
·2 min read
Here at our Avondale area Volkswagen showroom, the automaker's future-focused approach to engineering is one of the key factors that makes us to excited to offer VW vehicles. From advanced infotainment systems to upcoming electric vehicles, Volkswagen is always working to push the envelope when it comes to what's available for modern motorists.
As automated vehicles become more realistic and driver assist technologies become more common, Volkswagen is certainly eager to take advantage of the potential benefits that come with artificial intelligence on the road. That's what sets the latest Volkswagen vehicles at our Avondale area dealership apart.
The automaker is currently working with NVIDIA to develop new co-pilot technologies. Volkswagen CEO Dr. Herbert Diess and NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang recently spoke at the 2018 International CES, showcasing how these features will come into play with the reimagined electric Volkswagen MicroBus, currently in development as the I.D. BUZZ concept.
A Smarter Tomorrow
As Dr. Diess put it, "Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the car. Autonomous driving, zero tailpipe emission mobility and digital networking are virtually impossible without advances in AI and deep learning. Combining the imagination of Volkswagen with NVIDIA, the leader in AI technology, enables us to take a big step into the future."
Huang expanded on that, adding, "In just a few years, every new vehicle should have AI assistants for voice, gesture and facial recognition as well as augmented reality. Working with Volkswagen, we are creating a new generation of cars that are safer, more enjoyable to ride in than anything that has come before, and accessible to everyone."
This technology focuses on "Intelligent Co-Pilot" capabilities, ranging from convenience and driver assistance systems to an interface that learns more about potential situations as it experiences and interacts with more scenarios on the road.
