How will AI support the development of autonomous vehicles?

In the development of autonomous vehicles, AI supports intelligence applied in navigation and decision-making tasks related to safety. Machine learning algorithms process sensor information, camera vision, and GPS to understand a vehicle's surroundings and make real-time driving decisions. Abstraction helps in ensuring that the autonomous vehicle learns from the past and is adaptive to new experiences so that its performance is enhanced over a period of time.

Equally, AI could drive optimization in the choice of routes and in the consumption of energy to make autonomous vehicles more efficient.

I don't trust the people who are developing self-driving vehicles enough to put a car on the road in traffic with humans who are driving their vehicles. So far they have not proven that they are safe. Safety is Number 1. For example, in 2021 some statistics showed the accident rate for self-driving cars was 9.1 million miles driven. By contrast, cars operated by humans was 4.1 million. That's a huge difference!

I am not sure if I am going to let AI drives my own car. I am still skeptical if they are well-developed at present.
