Course Description This course teaches the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques in automotive systems. Topics covered include vehicle dynamics, driver behavior analysis, battery management, autonomous driving, and safety systems. Data processing, model training, and visualization are performed using MATLAB and related Toolboxes. Models such as Random Forest, LSTM, CNN, and Reinforcement Learning (DQN, PPO) are utilized. The integration of AI models into real-time vehicle systems is examined. Participants will gain the ability to develop AI/ML solutions for intelligent driving systems.
