Audi and the Johannes Kepler University of Linz announced that they are establishing the “Audi.JKU deep learning center” in Linz to conduct joint research into the intelligent car of the future. By cooperating with the Institute of Bioinformatics, Audi plans to promote the use of AI in automobiles. As Prof. Sepp Hochreiter, Europe’s leading expert in the field of artificial intelligence states: “The application of AI has enormous potential for self‑driving cars, not just for speech recognition, but even for predicting passengers’ intentions and needs, and reacting to them. Thanks to LSTM networks, drivers in the future will feel safer in their cars than in their own living rooms.” The joint collaboration of “Audi.JKU deep learning center” starts out with five projects, which will conduct how self-piloted cars can be exactly aware and correctly interpret their environment. Potential dangers must be recognized and therefore reaction times need to be optimized.
