Ford is employing AI to study how vehicles behave on the streets of US cities to tackle urban driving challenges. The Ford City Insights platform analyses data from traffic cameras, drivers, parking garages and police reports, with a 3D model of buildings and city blocks to bring the data sources together. The idea is to offer safety, travel and parking solutions. Ford tested the platform in the city of Ann Arbor for 18 months. It will now be expanded to Austin, Indianapolis, Grand Rapids, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Miami. The carmaker is in talks with other unnamed cities for further expansion.
