AI驾驶：高级驾驶辅助系统的有效性
AI at the Wheel: The Effectiveness of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems
摘要
Has automakers’ use of artificial intelligence (AI) in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs) improved automobile safety? We address this question with a first-of-its-kind trim-level dataset of the universe of registered automobiles and accidents in Texas over a 9-year period. We find that ADASs reduce the risk of a motorist getting in any type of accident by 11 to 14 percent and reduce the risk of a motorist getting in a single-vehicle fatal accident by roughly one-third. Our finding that ADASs have improved automobile safety is especially important because it provides early evidence of the benefits of vehicle automation in actual travel environments. Hopefully, it will spur greater interest in the development and widespread adoption of fully autonomous vehicles and in the potential benefits of other transportation technologies using AI.

汽车制造商在高级驾驶辅助系统（ADASs）中应用人工智能（AI）是否提升了汽车安全性？我们利用覆盖得克萨斯州9年间所有注册车辆及事故的首个车型级别数据集，对此问题展开研究。研究发现，ADASs使驾驶员发生任何类型事故的风险降低11%至14%，并将单车致命事故的风险降低约三分之一。这一结论尤为重要，因为它首次提供了车辆自动化在实际出行环境中带来益处的早期证据。我们期待该发现能激发对全自动驾驶汽车研发与普及的更大兴趣，并推动对运用AI的其他交通技术潜在效益的深入探索。
