Post 6: AI in Transportation

AI is driving the future of transport.
Self-driving cars, created by companies like Tesla and Google, use AI to sense the road, read traffic signs, and avoid accidents.
AI helps reduce traffic jams by controlling traffic lights based on real-time movement.

Apps like Google Maps and Waze use AI to predict traffic and suggest faster routes.
Airlines use AI to manage flight paths and predict maintenance needs for safety.

AI in public transport can track buses and trains, giving passengers accurate schedules on mobile apps.
In the future, AI may even be used in flying taxis or delivery drones.

Benefits:

• Fewer road accidents

• Lower fuel use

• Easier transport for people with disabilities
