Drivers could be at risk in likely to cause a “problem”, according to a leading expert.
Ved Sen, Head of Innovation at has warned motorists could develop an “over-reliance on AI” as more is fitted in , , and .
This could mean drivers become too accustomed to the luxury of driving
It hints that motorists with “errors” still likely in the early stages of development.
It’s a risk that Ved has warned the motor industry should be concerned about as more and more tools are added to newer machines.

Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Ved explained: “With any AI technologies, there are some standard risks.
“These include explainability, bias, errors (false positives and false negatives), unintended consequences, and in the case of generative AI, hallucination.”
He added: “There is also a transitional risk – where over-reliance on AI could be a problem for a period.
“Almost all of these should be issues for the automotive industry to a greater or lesser extent.

“But we believe that recognising the risks is the first step towards managing them and we can minimise the risk and impact through good practices and governance.”
Despite the concern, Ved has stressed that new AI technology could still present a range of benefits for vehicles of the future.
He stressed that tools being developed by engineers are likely to make roads safer and boost sustainability.
This can be in reducing accidents or making sustainable changes such as better managing car functions such as battery use in EVs.
He told Express.co.uk: “This innovation in development is about creating a safer and more sustainable driving experience and in doing so, the future of mobility will likely be more enjoyable for the driver.
“For example, AI and automation make it easier to access driving information and communicate with the wider world.
“The car collects and analyses data so that not only are drivers more informed about hazards around them, but they are also more likely to be aware of what other cars and drivers around them are doing.”
