IBM’s Watson Supercomputer to Partner with New BMW

IBM’s ‘Watson’ could change the way we drive. After perfecting the personalized supercomputer, IBM hopes Watson is ready to hit the road in partnership with BMW. Named after IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, this supercomputer can process information at 80 teraflops per second. This powerhouse accesses 90 different servers with a combined data bank of over 200 million pages of information. All this goes through an artificial intelligence algorithm and machine learning techniques. This allows Watson to replicate the human ability to problem solve and answer questions. Watson’s skill set was put to the test on the TV quiz show Jeopardy! where it defeated its human opponents.
