Self-Driving Cars Use Cameras, Sensors and Nvidia Processors

Chipmaker Nvidia, known primarily for its powerful graphics processors popular with PCs and game consoles, is entering the car automation industry with a new SDK it has begun shipping to notable manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce and Tesla. “When they’re fully trained up, something that should take at least another couple of years, the cars should be able to work with other systems to make decisions in real time, like when to brake and when to swerve,” reports The Wall Street Journal. “The kit is made of two parts: an on-board, car stereo-sized graphics processor packed with image-recognition software, and a larger server which sits at a carmaker’s autonomous car testing lab.”
