In our previous posts, we learned about the benefits, applications, and challenges of Computer Vision and Deep Learning for big industries and businesses. Today's tutorial focuses on using deep learning and computer vision in the Transportation sector.

The big picture: Transportation is an essential part of our day-to-day life as it enables the carrying of goods from one place to another, trade, commerce, and communication to establish a civilization. The transportation sector has seen multiple revolutions over the past hundred years. Today we are at the stage where a significant breakthrough in transportation is achieved through Artificial Intelligence (AI). 

How it works: AI is already changing the transportation industry by enabling cars, trains, ships, and airplanes to automate autonomously, making the traffic flow smoother. Besides making our lives easier, it can provide a safer, cleaner, smarter, and more efficient transportation mode for everyone. AI-led autonomous transport could, for instance, help reduce human errors involved in many traffic accidents.

Our thoughts: We believe that with increasing accessibility and affordability of high-end computation hardware (e.g., CPUs and GPUs) and IoT technologies (e.g., LTE and 5G), possibilities for several AI applications in the transportation sector will increase multifold. 

Yes, but: However, AI application in the transportation sector has its own risks and challenges. AI will likely accelerate the growth toward a service-based economy which will speed up job losses for low-skilled workers. A significant constraint on AI growth in the transport market is its high-investment nature in terms of talent, hardware, and software. Low-income and developing countries like India face an enormous challenge in adopting AI because of their low-quality infrastructure. Further, regulatory requirements for AI are always tricky to predict. 

Stay smart: It is essential to understand the risks and challenges associated with AI and their enormous potential when using AI algorithms in this sector.
