Autonomous vehicles (AVs) cover the gamut from robotaxis for consumers to autonomous mobility vehicles (AMVs) in factories, mines and warehouses, as well as everyday deliveries. They are all powered by artificial intelligence (AI), utilising computer vision and machine learning technologies to act as Edge AI mobility devices. This paper provides an update on the AVs of today, explains their improved technology stack and presents the challenges in building and deploying them in an ethical and value-generating way to help customers. The paper goes beyond presenting the technology to include practical use cases from the automotive, transport, hospitality and warehousing industries on how AMVs are utilising AI to automate workflow in an industry ecosystem of people, process and machines to create value from mobility.
