In a recent discussion with Mobility Outlook, Dr Bhattacharya Business. Leader for Intelligent Connected Products, Digital, AI/ML at Creative Synergies, emphasised the multifaceted applications of LLMs, particularly in the automotive industry. He delved into the challenges faced by the car industry, notably in prognosis, highlighting the complexity of multi-modal failures in mechanical systems and mentioning the possibilities and challenges associated with integrating advanced technologies in the automotive sector. Dr Bhattacharya has a background in AI and machine learning and now leads the charge in shaping the future of IoT, AI, and machine learning at Creative Synergies.

Potential Of LLMs

The promising role of LLMs is in solving issues related to prognosis, particularly in predicting failures and improving overall safety. These are significant tools in synthetic data generation and simulations, revealing how they aid in scenario generation during car development.

Highlighting the potential of prognosis in the automotive industry, these LLMs could play a pivotal role in predicting potential failures, enhancing safety, and reducing highway accidents. While acknowledging the potential of LLMs, Dr Bhattacharya also addressed the challenges, particularly in the Indian context. He stressed the need for a phased implementation approach, considering the cost implications and the regulatory landscape.

Further, LLMs could significantly contribute to quality control in the manufacturing domain. Intelligent systems, particularly in off-highway equipment manufacturing, have the potential to address challenges related to part selection and quality issues.

Another focus area that has huge potential is predictive maintenance. While acknowledging the existing focus on predictive maintenance in manufacturing, Dr Bhattacharya hinted at ongoing developments in the space. LLMs, coupled with AI, could further revolutionise predictive maintenance strategies, optimising efficiency and reducing downtime.

Future Of AI in Indian Automotive

As the automotive industry navigates the dynamic landscape of AI and LLMs, these technologies pave the way for safer, more efficient, intelligent vehicles on Indian roads. Adopting ADAS systems with a battery of cameras and sensors implies that a huge amount of data must be processed and analysed in real time to dispense immediate responses by mechatronics, thus improving safety and avoiding potential accidents.

In the ever-evolving world of automotive technology, this chat with Dr Bhattacharya offers a glimpse into the exciting future that awaits the Indian automotive sector, where innovation and intelligence converge to redefine the driving experience.
