By 2021, 10 percent of all new vehicles will have autonomous driving capabilities, Gartner predicts. Machine Learning (ML) — a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) — heavily fuels autonomous vehicle capabilities. Simply put, without machine learning driverless vehicles are just a sci-fi fantasy.
Machine learning, in simple terms, is the ability of machines to learn from data and make decisions and again unlearn and relearn through the new data sets available. A real-life example is, how Netflix’s recommendation system works. Netflix uses a combination of experts to tag the content on their platform and the user data it collects. It then applies machine learning algorithms to generate recommendations to the viewers. This is one of the core competencies of Netflix that helps them to stay ahead of competitors.
