AI‑driven cars take center stage as tech evolution speeds up
Artificial intelligence is developing at an increasingly rapid pace. This is evident not only with AI but also with cars that no longer need a human driver. A short video from China perfectly illustrates this, with a man lying on the seat while driving and watching the UEFA Euro 2024 match.
For several years, technological development has accelerated at an alarming rate, as evidenced by calls from major American brands to halt the development of artificial intelligence. This technology has undergone a massive transformation in the past year, becoming ubiquitous and used in nearly every creative industry.
Development, including AI, has significantly improved many commonly used tools, such as smartphones and televisions. These changes have also affected the automotive industry.
This is clearly shown in more videos, where people travelling in modern cars supported by autopilots can almost completely stop driving. Some of them have so much trust in the technology that they choose not to look at the road and engage in other activities.

This is surprising because, although the idea of autopilot, for example, in airplanes, has been known for years, it has never been able to be so autonomous. Meanwhile, as more and more videos posted online prove, even moving on the road, where autopilot faces more dangers than in the air, it is flawless.
One of the residents of China decided to demonstrate this by driving such a car on one of the local roads. There would be nothing unusual about this if not for the fact that, while the car was moving, he was lying on the seat and watching one of the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024 matches.
Commenters on the video note that the car is moving through an empty tunnel, making the autopilot's task particularly easy. Nevertheless, the AI-driven car's autonomy is still an incredible achievement.
