The number of artificial intelligence driven applications and products increases across industries. In the automotive industry, artificial intelligence has an impact not only on autonomous driving but also on the overall engineering process and functionalities
of future vehicles. Hence, processes for developing and manufacturing cars as well as the customer experience with their cars can be improved by applying deep learning, big data, and parallel computing. In this presentation, we highlight some of the recent
advances and achievements in user experience, user prediction, and design assistance at Mercedes Benz.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
