The Cognitive Road
This book explores how AI is reshaping the foundations of the modern vehicle. Software-Defined Vehicles made the car programmable. AI-Defined Vehicles make it learnable: able to learn from real-world driving, reason beyond fixed rules, and keep improving long after it leaves the factory.
Co-authored by Himajit Aithal, Innovation Manager at Bosch Global Software Technologies, and Ketan Paithankar, Co-founder & CTO of Konverge AI, the book explains the architecture behind this shift: the edge-cloud continuum, V2X and swarm intelligence, smart-city and energy-grid integration, and the safety, explainability and regulatory frameworks needed to deploy AI in vehicles responsibly.
A practical roadmap for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers moving from software-defined to AI-defined vehicle programmes.
The AI-Defined Vehicle is the first vehicle architecture that improves in service. The organisations that build for this early will define the next decade of intelligent mobility.
Why Read Our Book
- Understand why the move from software-defined to AI-defined vehicles is about intelligence, not just faster over-the-air updates.
- See the full vehicle AI stack, from sensors and edge compute to fleet-wide cloud learning, and why the edge-cloud continuum is non-negotiable.
- Get a phased 48-month roadmap, with safety, ethics and regulation built in from day one.
