Toyota plans to manufacture cars using IQ Asntai within 5 years

Head of advanced research department at Toyota said it aims over the next five years to develop to help drivers incorporate artificial intelligence to improve vehicle safety systems.

Said Jill Pratt, CEO of Toyota Research Institute, a company for research and development focused on artificial intelligence was created by the newly Toyota, it aims to improve car safety by enabling vehicles to anticipate and avoid situations of potential accidents.

Toyota said that the Institute will spend about US $ billion over the next five years, and Zllk as competition intensifies for the development of self-driving cars.

The compatriot Honda Motor Co. had said earlier this month it established a new research arm will focus on artificial intelligence, to join other global carmakers that invest in robotics research, including Ford and Volkswagen.

Pratt told reporters: "Some of the things that are in the safety of the car, one of the priorities in the near term, I am very confident that we will have some progress, which will appear in the next five years."

The concept of allowing vehicles to think, act and take the lead and control of drivers to perform evasive maneuvers major platform for efforts by Toyota to produce cars that can drive themselves on highways such as the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2020.

While used to avoid obstacles including vehicles and pedestrians on the vehicle lane assist current driver to a large sensors, imaging end systems, Pratt said that Toyota Research Institute looks at the artificial intelligence solutions to enable "the car that elusive be far beyond the one lane."

In the midst of competing Japanese automakers with technology companies to develop self-driving cars, they are also struggling with these companies in the Japanese society in which an increasingly aging population in the age ratio, which puts the future demand for private vehicle ownership in trouble.
