Description

AI delivers value to many facets of the automotive value chain, including smart manufacturing, supply chain management, and customer engagement. It is increasingly used both inside the vehicle (e.g., in advanced driving assistance systems) and outside the vehicle to improve internal business processes and decisions (e.g., during vehicle development, manufacturing, and sales and aftersales).

Andre Luckow discusses how to assess AI technologies, validate use cases, and foster fast adoption and shares lessons and best practices learned from developing computer vision and natural language understanding applications. Andre focuses on deep learning applications, exploring convolutional neural networks for computer vision use cases, such as the visual inspection process in manufacturing plants, and discussing his experience developing an end-to-end deep learning application that utilizes a mobile app for data collection and process support and a cloud backend for storage and training.
