Nvidia has very cool AP project

Electrek thinks Tesla might be using Nvidia technology for the next generation AP. I have no idea if that is actually true.

Tesla has been rumoured to be working with Nvidia for its next computing platform for self-driving cars. Nvidia is already a Tesla supplier and its Tegra processors are powering the center console, infotainment, navigation and instrument-cluster systems of the Model S and X. The company’s next-generation visual computing platform for cars, NVIDIA DRIVE PX 2, is expected to become available this fall. Again, it’s only a rumour at this point, but the timing is interesting.

How NVIDIA Built the DGX-1 Deep Learning Supercomputer in a Box

"May 30, 2016 NVIDIA engineers ready the first batch of DGX-1 systems for customers. One customer, though, couldn’t wait. The first unit, shown off at GTC, is now whirring away on a server rack deep inside our Silicon Valley headquarters. It’s crunching through data collected by our autonomous driving team in New Jersey for our DRIVE PX autonomous driving platform."

Hopefully that "one customer" is Tesla!

"Duct tape. Plexiglass. Plastic ties. Ear plugs. Band-Aids.

If you’re building something for the first time — whether it’s a spaceship or a sports car — this is where you start. And if you look through the expense reports of the engineering teams that put together our NVIDIA DGX-1 deep learning system, that’s what you’ll find."

Spaceships? Sports car? Hum... Can you be any more obvious?

"we did not program any explicit object detection, mapping, path planning or control components into this car. Instead, the car learns on its own to create all necessary internal representations necessary to steer, simply by observing human drivers."
