  • A basic understanding of AI technologies and applications

What you'll learn

  • Understand the autonomous driving industry

  • Learn how to predict the trajectory of the autonomous driving industry in the next 5–20 years and how to commercialize autonomous driving technology

Description

Understanding the evolution of the AI industry requires a thorough consideration of the ecosystems of both the new entrants and the incumbents, which requires a closer look at the interdependencies of components in those ecosystems. On the one hand, bottlenecks from the new ecosystems may constrain the rising of technology. On the other, expansion opportunities can enhance the competitiveness of the old technology.

Weiyue Wu outlines a structured model to analyze the pace of AI industry substitution that considers the impact of ecosystems on the new AI industry and old technology. Weiyue then illustrates her point through a case study of autonomous driving, covering the tremendous amount of investments that go into this field (and whether these investments even make sense), exploring new business models, detailing why governments should support autonomous driving, and more.
