Software-defined vehicles are quickly becoming intelligent, self-improving systems powered by artificial intelligence (AI). As their capabilities expand, the central challenge is no longer building bigger models but managing the enormous volumes of data those models depend on.

The process of diagnosing and debugging vehicles is a critical area that can benefit greatly from AI-driven optimization. Modern vehicles are more complex than ever, with some containing as many as 1,400 computer chips, so empowering both vehicle engineers during the pre-production phase and automotive repair service technicians post-production can deliver significant benefits to car makers and consumers alike.

Artificial intelligence (AI) in the automotive space is often associated with self-driving capabilities or digital assistants. But a quieter transformation is underway that’s reshaping a core part of vehicle ownership: service and maintenance.
