For the consumer, this means one more step toward having safe and effective self-driving technology in day-to-day life.
During the GTC keynote, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced the “next generation of autonomous vehicle simulation,” called the NVIDIA DRIVE Sim. Purportedly, the sim provides a “high-fidelity simulation by tapping into NVIDIA’s core technologies to deliver a powerful, cloud-based computing platform,” which can be used for a wide variety of things. In this case, the intent is to work with autonomous vehicle systems in the environment, thus creating a “virtual proving ground to test the vehicle’s decision-making process while accounting for edge cases.
