In our second episode, we are focusing on automation and artificial intelligence (AI). It’s a subject that has fascinated humans since the Ancient Greek myths described a god who could bring inanimate objects to life. And today, Hollywood films and their portrayal of robots with human-like features and feelings present a similarly mythical take on artificial intelligence. Of course, Audi is far more interested in using real science to power the autonomous features of its models, and frequently presents concept cars that make full use of AI technology. We spoke to Michael Wooldridge, Oxford University’s Head of Computer Science, about the possibility of cars taking control of the wheel.
