 AI is revolutionizing transportation, especially through self-driving cars and advanced ride-sharing. In autonomous vehicles, AI uses sensors like LiDAR, radar, and cameras to "see" the road, interpret objects, and make navigation decisions. By combining computer vision and machine learning, these systems adapt to traffic, weather, and potential hazards in real-time, allowing safe and efficient driving.

In ride-sharing, AI powers route optimization, demand prediction, and dynamic pricing for services like Uber. It calculates the best routes and adjusts fares based on traffic and demand, maximizing efficiency.

Looking ahead, AI may transform public transport through self-driving buses and shuttles that adapt to real-time passenger demand. Additionally, AI-driven traffic management could control signals and traffic flow, reducing congestion and improving urban mobility.
