Graphics processor giant Nvidiais preparing to shift the balance in the autonomous vehicle market with its robotaxi project. According to sources close to the company, Nvidia has developed its newest driving platform. DRIVE AGX Thor will soon announce this new technology, built on Tesla and Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD has worried its rivals, including.
Nvidia's biggest claim in this project is that the technology is completely end-to-end artificial neural networks While autonomous vehicles have typically operated with rule-based algorithms to date, Nvidia's innovative approach will enable vehicles to perceive their environment more holistically and respond more flexibly to real-time situations.
CEO at the beginning of the project Jensen HuangA senior executive directly assigned by Ruchi Bhargava The system is trained using virtual world models created using simulation technology. This allows it to be tested in millions of scenarios before hitting real roads.
Robotaxi project, Taiwan-based Tong Hsing Electronics ve Yanguang Suppliers like these are expected to play a significant role. Image sensors and lens technologies, in particular, are critical to Nvidia's vision. Full details of the project are expected to be revealed in an official announcement from Nvidia in the coming weeks.
