Abstract
Recently, with the crazy and incredible development of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven smart cars, whether smart cars could have autonomous consciousness catches our attention—the ultimate topic for us to explore the secrets of the universe. Here, the essence is whether matter could generate consciousness under certain conditions or, more specifically, in the smart cars area, whether AI and other coming advanced technologies could make autonomous consciousness out of a bunch of silicon wafers with the blessing of large-scale neuronal computing.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine (ITSM) publishes peer-reviewed articles that provide innovative research ideas and application results, report significant application case studies, and raise awareness of pressing research and application challenges in all areas of intelligent transportation systems. In contrast to the highly academic publication of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, the ITS Magazine focuses on providing needed information to all members of IEEE ITS society, serving as a dissemination vehicle for ITS Society members and the others to learn the state of the art development and progress on ITS research and applications. High quality tutorials, surveys, successful implementations, technology reviews, lessons learned, policy and societal impacts, and ITS educational issues are published as well. The ITS Magazine also serves as an ideal media communication vehicle between the governing body of ITS society and its membership and promotes ITS community development and growth.
