What Hyperautomation Can Learn from Self-Driving Cars

8Flow CEO Boaz Hecht draws parallels between autonomous vehicle development and enterprise automation advancement.

Similar to how self-driving cars adapted through real-world testing, AI-powered hyperautomation must evolve and improve continuously. The path to fully autonomous enterprise workflows shares surprising similarities with the journey toward self-driving vehicles.

Key Challenges

  • Brittle systems: Traditional automation lacks the flexibility to handle real-world variation
  • Black-box AI: Implementations that lack transparency erode trust and hinder adoption
  • Data security: Vulnerabilities become critical risks during enterprise-wide scaling

The Vision

The future belongs to automation systems that learn from actual team workflows and generate compounding value over time. Just as self-driving cars get better with every mile driven, enterprise automation should improve with every workflow observed.
