Superheroes and robots Nividias tool in the fight for self-driven cars – IDG.see

2020 is the year everyone is talking about, then it should roll self-driven cars on the streets and chipptillverkaren Nvidia is one of the companies that join forces. Similarly, investing Intel time and money to develop its technology.

Nvidia says it is now working with Audi to get autonomous cars in traffic. In addition, they have the good taste to name their own self-driven car to the BB8, you know, the super cute robot from the latest Star Wars films. And the computer that will be used in the cars, they have named Xavier after professor in superhero comics, X-men. Together with the car manufacturer, they shall now develop the car for production on a larger scale.

the Collaboration was presented just days after Intel and BMW have gone out with their notice to get out of the 40 self-driven cars before 2017 is out. It is a testflotta, writes IDG News, however, gives a clear answer. Intel put in a higher gear and sharpen those plans significantly. Previously, the plan was to get self-driven cars by 2021.

But Nvidia is former on testfronten, their BB8 has already begun to roll on the streets of northern California. During the great elektronikmässan CES currently going on in Las Vegas demonstrated the company’s ceo up a video where you see how the car on its own, drove around in traffic. However, with a driver behind the wheel ready to take over when necessary, a driver who according to reports should have been slightly nervous.

BB8 is a prototype, and an early, by an ai-car. Which maybe really is a hipper name for an autonomous vehicle. But, in large parts, it is about artificial intelligence should control the instead of a human being. A powerful computer that will make smart decisions and avoid accidents. And this is where Nvidia and Intel will see a space to use their expertise.

Both companies also compete on who can build the most horsepower in their cars. Intel tells me the other day that their computer for cars, the Go, can be delivered with up to 28 Xeon cores and 5g connection. Nvidia showed off the next generation of Xavier computer that has eight ARM CPU cores and a grafikgränssnitt based on Voltas graphical architecture. They have also improved a feature called ai-copilot, a service that monitors the driver and the conditions inside the car rather than the surroundings in order to provide safer driving.

A third area where the two companies operate on the development of the 3d-maps. An important part of the cars should be able to navigate. Nvidia has said that they are working with a mapping called Here, the same company that Intel bought in the other day. The group of shareholders also includes the Audi, BMW and Daimler.

There are three years left to 2020, we’ll learn probably hear more about the chipptillverkarnas struggle and the development of self-driven cars.
