#305 - Gary Brotman - CEO, Secondmind

“The complexity of today’s software that is required to make cars run on the road is four times greater than the level of productivity in developing the software. The complexity is already outpacing development productivity.”

Designing a car is hard. 🚙 🏎️ 🏁

It involves solving a series of multi-dimensional problems under a variety of constraints. I am oversimplifying here, but a problem with 8 dimensions and 5 values for each dimension will have 390,625 combinations to be experimented with. Real-world problems are usually way more complex, and testing every unique combination of inputs in an experiment is often not viable. So what is the solution, and what role does AI play?

Gary Brotman, CEO of Secondmind, joined me on the AI in Automotive Podcast to share the answer to that question, and talk to us about the role of AI in accelerating the automotive design process. Think of Secondmind’s platform as a co-pilot for automotive engineers. It uses the power of AI to help them design the right experiments to solve complex multi-dimensional problems of the sort they encounter in their day jobs. This focuses their limited resources on a subset of the problem space, and gets them to the optimal solution in the most time-efficient and resource-efficient manner, accelerating the design process.

This is a fascinating conversation with one of the most experienced and knowledgeable blokes out there when it comes to AI in Automotive. I hope you enjoy my chat with Gary as much as I did. And if you do, go ahead and rate the AI in Automotive Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
