What if AI disappeared from automotive today?
There's an oddly sombre mood in the automotive world today. Artificial Intelligence — the very brain behind our 'smart' vehicles — seems to be playing hide and seek. Or maybe just gone AWOL (Absent without Leave). It's ironic, really. AI has been blamed for everything - from being too charming and chatty, to knowing us too well, to guiding us a little too precisely. But what if - just for a moment - it vanished? No prompts, no nudges, no voice reminders. Just a wheel, an engine, and us. Imagine stepping into your vehicle and silence. No cheerful 'Good morning!' greetings. No auto-adjusted seats. No music queued to your mood. No ambient lighting that lifts your spirits during the 7 am traffic crawl. Instead, the cabin sits silent – just a machine drives. 'We would still be able to reach our destination,' says Heather Dawe, Chief Data Scientist and Head of Responsible AI, UK, UST. 'But it would stop trying to fix itself, stop making sure the cabin was perfect for each driver. No more music preferences, route suggestions, or warnings that we are about to crash. For many of us, particularly those who have not experienced more analogue forms of driving, it would be a shock.' 'The vehicle would no longer greet us cheerily,' Dawe adds. 'It would be a sullen machine. Maybe we would find that peaceful. But many of us would miss the optimism AI injects into daily drives.' 'Vehicles would lose their sixth sense. Safety systems like ADAS would go silent, infotainment would rewind to a decade ago, and predictive maintenance would return to hoping for the best,' says Santosh Singh, President & Global Head Marketing & BE, Tata Technologies. Multitasking would be back with a vengeance - balancing a roadmap on our knees or placing it in our co-passenger's hands - just to replicate the seamless turn-by-turn navigation that's now second nature now embedded intricately in our dashboards. That calm AI voice? Gone. That confidence in an unknown route? Fading fast. Worse still, we would have to remember things. Like actual routes. Our spatial awareness would be tested without those guiding parking lines on reverse cameras. Time to reacquaint ourselves with side mirrors and old-school gut instinct, rusty skills for most drivers today. 'Parking would become a spectator sport again, and drivers might rediscover the lost art of arguing over directions,' says Singh. 'It is a reminder that AI is not just a feature—it is the foundation of modern mobility.' But while consumers might suffer a slight existential crisis without their AI buddy, the real chaos begins behind the scenes. The loudest 'I miss you' would echo through manufacturing plants and R&D labs. 'Connected, self-driving cars would become unusable overnight. While we may be rid of a few complex chips, development timelines would stretch, launches would delay, and engineering teams would face renewed pressure,' says Aditya Joshi, COO, SA Technologies. AI is no longer optional. It's central to how the automotive sector thinks, builds, and competes. 'Without it, we would fall behind, drastically,' points Joshi. 'Predictive maintenance, intelligent route optimisation, and personalised riding experiences in EVs - all gone,' Kunal Gupta, Co-founder & CEO, EMotorad. 'AI enables smarter diagnostics, energy efficiency, and user feedback loops. Losing it? - would compromise safety, efficiency, and innovation.' And the impact doesn't end at four wheels. Sravan K Appana, Co-founder & CEO of iGowise, reminds us that the journey of intelligence in mobility has only just begun. 'Automobiles have evolved for nearly 200 years - from clunky metal boxes to smart, responsive mobility solutions,' he says. 'AI today may feel like it's limited to voice commands, infotainment suggestions, touchscreens, and climate presets, but tomorrow it'll be the foundation for autonomous navigation, personalised safety, and shared urban mobility, especially in compact EVs like two and three-wheelers.' So, if AI really did vanish today, we might still reach where we are going. But the journey - both literal and figurative - would be less safe, less smooth, and certainly less smart. For now, let's just be thankful AI only went on a fictional holiday. It's still here - possibly listening to you right now - learning your habits, saving your sanity, and ensuring you don't park into a wall. So go ahead, wish it well. Happy AI Appreciation Day. Give your virtual assistant a shoutout — it deserves it.

He also flagged off five Skill Chariots to spread awareness about skill development across the State.

The company's market capitalisation stood at ₹29,694.94 crore. The 52-week high of the stock was at ₹1,135 per share and the 52-week low of the stock was at ₹595.05 per share. Tata Technologies Q1FY26 results In the quarter ended June 30, 2025, Tata Technologies' consolidated net profit stood at ₹170.3 crore as compared to ₹162 crore a year ago, up 5 per cent. However, on a quarter-on-quarter basis, the net profit fell 9.8 per cent. Tata Technologies Q1 results analysis: PL Capital | Sell | Target: ₹570 The Services revenue de-growth of 7.6 per cent constant currency CC Q-o-Q) was below PL Capital's estimates of 5.1 per cent CC Q-o-Q. Although the aerospace momentum continued through Q1, the weakness in the Heavy-Machinery segment led to a decline of 4.7 per cent Q-o-Q in the non-auto business. The brokerage has kept its margin estimates broadly unchanged while baking in a revenue decline of 3 per cent and 1.2 per cent for the Service/Consol business in FY26E followed by 11.5 per cent growth in FY27E for both Service/Consol. Track Stock Market LIVE Updates Tata Technologies Q1 results analysis: JM Financial | Buy | Target cut to ₹780 from ₹790 The company reported better-than-feared revenue performance that declined 4.6 per cent CC Q-o-Q, as against JM Financial's estimate of -7.3 per cent. A weak quarter and a still uncertain macro notwithstanding, management was surprisingly upbeat on the near-term outlook., according to JM Financial. "Better than expected growth in BMW JV further aids earnings resilience. As a result, our FY26-28E earnings per share (EPS) is down marginally by 1-3 per cent, driven largely by a 25-75 basis points (bps) cut in margin assumptions. Multiples will however track top-line growth, which is looking up," said the brokerage. Tata Technologies Q1 results analysis: InCred Equities | Reduce | Target: ₹671 Tata Technologies' 1QFY26 services revenue weakness was led by both automotive and non-automotive businesses while the better overall revenue optically was led by technology solutions, said InCred Equities. Better 2Q and strong 2HFY26F optimism is driven by the improving in-quarter sentiment which drove an uptick in deal activity, order pipeline build-up (stronger Y-o-Y) and conversion, and new product development commitments by anchor customers JLR and Tata Motors. That said, the ask rate is steep and challenging amid the current macroeconomic uncertainty, according to the brokerage.

Tata Tech Surges 4% After Q1 Earnings And Optimistic Outlook; Should You Invest?
Last Updated: Shares of Tata Technologies rose over 4% on Tuesday following upbeat commentary from the management despite a soft June quarter performance Tata Technologies Share Price: Shares of Tata Technologies rose over 4% on Tuesday following upbeat commentary from the management despite a soft June quarter performance. The stock climbed 3.52% to hit a high of Rs 742 on the BSE, buoyed by the company's positive tone around future growth prospects. The engineering services company reported a 7.6% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) decline in constant currency (CC) revenue from its core services business, citing delays in ramp-ups and paused R&D investments by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) due to tariff-related pressures. However, the management remains confident of a recovery beginning in Q2, backed by a strong order book at the end of the first quarter. Brokerages, however, remain divided. ICICI Securities noted that the company's optimistic outlook has yet to reflect in the numbers and termed the management's FY26 double-digit growth target as ambitious. It expects a 1.5% YoY dip in FY26 dollar revenue and sees maintaining FY26 EBIT margins as a 'tall order." The brokerage retained a 'Sell' rating, valuing the stock at 25x on Q3FY27E to Q2FY28E EPS of Rs 20, with a target price of Rs 510. JM Financial was more constructive, highlighting improved deal wins—six large deals in Q1, the highest in six quarters—as a key confidence driver. It stated that the current OEM project delays appear tactical and temporary, noting there have been no cancellations so far. Despite trimming FY26-28 EPS estimates by 1–3% due to margin revisions, it maintained a 'Buy' rating with an upgraded target of Rs 790 (from Rs 780). On the other hand, PL Capital also maintained a 'Sell' call, projecting a 3% and 1.2% decline in FY26 revenue for the services and consolidated business, respectively, followed by an 11.5% rebound in FY27. It values the stock at 28x FY27E EPS, arriving at a price target of Rs 570. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
