The future of transportation is electric on land and in the air. But AI holds the key to unlocking the performance and safety requirements needed to fulfill that vision. AI can accelerate the mapping of the molecular universe to help discover next-gen electrolyte materials for batteries that have longer ranges and faster charging times. In manufacturing AI can precisely manage the quality of each battery cell. And AI can predict incidents and guarantee near 100% safety. This triad of AI applications will drive next-gen battery development for sustainable and safe EVs and flying cars worldwide.
