MIT researchers are collaborating with Volkswagen and Audi to develop an AI-based “driving buddy” that could help motorists avoid traffic jams or remind them to fill an empty gas tank.

By observing a driver’s habits, the artificial intelligence tool called AIDA (Affective Intelligent Driving Agent) learns routines and how best to assist with navigation and maintenance. AIDA is being developed by Audi and the Volkswagen Group of America’s Electronics Research Lab in collaboration with MIT’s Personal Robots Group along with its Media Lab and SENSEable City Lab.

“The key lies in all the real-time feeds that AIDA can process, both from inside the car and real-time information about the city outside the car,” said professor Carlo Ratti, director of the SENSEable City Lab. “By combining and analyzing all these feeds, AIDA can start to understand your mood [and] the goals you would like to achieve.”
