North America is estimated to be the leading market for artificial intelligence in
transportation.
Transportation plays a significant role in the north American economy. According to
American trucker association, there are 8.7 million truck-related jobs in the US, and the
country still faces a shortage of truck drivers. Hence, major developments related to
autonomous driving of trucks are taking place in this country. Additionally, incentives and
high level of funding from the government plays a major role in the development of this
technology. For instance, in 2016, the US government spent USD 4.00 billion to accelerate
the acceptance of autonomous vehicles on US roads. Also, the central north american
trade corridor association is planning to develop a driverless truck corridor from mexico
to manitoba. Also, the region is home to leading technology companies such as microsoft
(US), intel (US), and NVIDIA (US), which offer various AI technologies for vehicles in
partnership with oems. Therefore, the north american region has a great potential for the
growth of the artificial intelligence in transportation market.
