IEEE White Paper : AI Meets VModel:2025

- Active.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the automotive industry. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) features, such as hands-free driving, intelligent braking, and real-time traffic sign recognition, driven by machine learning, are no longer science fiction. However, despite the excitement surrounding AI, a significant challenge has emerged: how can the automotive industry ensure that AI-driven functionality is implemented safely? This paper explores how traditional engineering processes, especially the V-model used in automotive development, can evolve to include AI safely and effectively. AI is not just a nice-to-have feature; it is becoming essential. The only way to build trust in autonomous and connected vehicles is to make AI safety a top priority from the very beginning of the development process.
