Well, if you are using a smartphone, you are interacting with AI whether you know it or not. AI is impacting our lives every day.

However, now companies like Tesla have made so much progress that we have automatic cars on the road. Tesla cars are a good example of how the AI is impacting our daily life. Do you know that all the Tesla cars are connected and the things that your car learns are shared across all the cars? With autonomous cars running on our roads, you won’t be able to deny the impact of AI on our lives.

If you are thinking that smart cars don’t personally affect you as they are still not in your country or city, well, how about something you use on a daily basis.
