(Asia) Piyush Palkar, Chief Data Officer, Carsome, and CDO Magazine Ambassador for Malaysia, talks to Chris Knerr, about transportation automation possibilities and AI and ML prospects throughout the industry. 

Palkar is interested in seeing autonomous vehicles kicking and revolutionizing the entire transportation and automotive industry. As adoption levels increase, there will be a point when AI and ML drive the industry as a whole, he says. The increase in automation will open the door to other opportunities to improvise and improve. 

AI-based vehicle inspection is picking up pace, he says. Other AI-based solutions will detect damage via clicking pictures. He also mentions solutions that score and show engine performance and determine the price of the car by listening to the noise. It is all about capturing and using data correctly, Palkar concludes.
