1.1 Background of the Study
The automotive industry is one of the most innovative sectors globally, with the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) playing a crucial role in enhancing vehicle safety and performance. AI applications in automotive design and manufacturing are revolutionizing how vehicles operate, from autonomous driving features to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). AI enables vehicles to detect hazards, predict potential accidents, and optimize performance based on real-time data.
In Lagos, Nigeria, a hub for automobile consumption and traffic management, AI has been integrated into both the design and operation of vehicles to improve safety on the city's often-congested roads. The adoption of AI in vehicles has the potential to reduce traffic-related accidents, enhance fuel efficiency, and create more sustainable transportation options (Oluwaseun & Adedayo, 2025). This study examines the role of AI in enhancing vehicle safety and performance in Lagos.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Lagos faces significant challenges related to traffic congestion and road safety, with frequent accidents and high vehicle emissions contributing to environmental and public health concerns. Traditional vehicle safety systems and traffic management methods have limitations in addressing these issues effectively. AI-driven innovations, such as automated driving systems and smart vehicle technology, could significantly improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability, but their adoption in Lagos is still limited.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
-
To assess the role of AI in enhancing vehicle safety and performance in Lagos.
-
To evaluate the impact of AI-driven technologies on reducing traffic accidents and improving traffic flow.
-
To explore the challenges and opportunities of adopting AI in the automotive sector in Lagos.
1.4 Research Questions
-
How is AI improving vehicle safety and performance in Lagos?
-
What impact does AI have on reducing traffic accidents and improving road safety?
-
What are the challenges and opportunities in adopting AI-driven vehicle technologies in Lagos?
1.5 Research Hypothesis
-
AI significantly enhances vehicle safety and performance on Lagos roads.
-
AI-driven technologies reduce traffic accidents and improve traffic flow.
-
Infrastructure and regulatory challenges limit the widespread adoption of AI in Lagos’ automotive sector.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study provides critical insights into how AI can transform the automotive industry, improving road safety and reducing traffic congestion in one of Nigeria’s busiest urban centers.
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on the integration of AI in vehicles operating within Lagos. Limitations include access to proprietary AI systems used in the automotive industry and variability in the adoption of AI across different vehicle manufacturers.
