IBM's Automated Buses, Passengers Talk to the Virtual Bus Wizard


IBM Japan's Kawasaki Zhixing delivered a speech on September 9 at the "Automotive Future Summit / Transportation NEXT 2016" (organizer: Nikkei BP), introducing the near future of car-oriented services.

In his speech, Jiang introduced the use of IBM-developed artificial intelligence system "Watson" (Watson) "automatic driving bus" Olli ".Olli is Local Motors Corporation and IBM jointly developed 12 small automatic driving bus.IBM using Watson As a "bus guide." More than 30 sensors installed on the car, by Watson to analyze the large amount of data collected by these sensors.

When the passengers asked, "Where there is a delicious restaurant near", Watson will answer "○○ has a shop called × ×." Watson can interact with a number of passengers to communicate with each other, according to the requirements of passengers to guide the bus. According to Jiang Qi introduction, Olli has not yet entered the practical stage, the future will be repeated empirical experiments.

In addition, IBM also with a number of enterprises in the IoT and AI technology cooperation. The company and Honda F1 business in the establishment of a cooperative relationship. Honda's F1 racing data analysis system uses IBM's "IoT for Automotive" for real-time analysis and prediction of faults, fuel efficiency, and performance. In addition, IBM and Fuji Heavy Industries, began to use IBM's AI technology to build driving support system "EyeSight" experimental image data analysis system. In the future it seems that with Fuji Heavy Industries to carry out a new research on automatic driving.
