Tesla uses AI in some of its products and services. For example, the company’s Autopilot feature uses AI to help vehicles navigate roads and highways without or with limited input from the driver. The company’s cars also use AI for tasks like lane detection, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. Additionally, Tesla is using AI in its manufacturing processes to help improve efficiency and productivity.
