How AI Is Redefining Today’s Cars Before Full Autonomy Arrives
Autonomous driving is no longer just a futuristic idea—it’s already shaping today’s cars. Features like obstacle detection and emergency braking are now common, thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence. Yet, the road to fully self-driving vehicles remains long, with challenges still to overcome.
Portugal’s Critical TechWorks is playing a key role in this shift by developing tech for BMW. Their work includes systems that help cars detect obstacles and brake automatically. These innovations are steps toward greater autonomy, but drivers still need to keep their hands on the wheel.
Fully autonomous cars are still years away, with technical, legal, and privacy issues unresolved. For now, drivers will keep their steering wheels and pedals. But as testing continues and technology improves, the way we drive could change significantly in the coming decades.
