NVIDIA Corp. will provide its DRIVE PX artificial intelligence platform to Toyota Motor Corp. for automated driving systems on future vehicles.
Engineering teams from the two companies are developing software on NVIDIA’s AI platform to better understand the massive volume of data generated by various sensors and to manage the broad spectrum of autonomous driving situations. The DRIVE PX platform integrates data from cameras, lidar, radar and other onboard sensors with the ability to deliver 30 trillion deep learning operations per second.
NVIDIA says it is working with more than 80 carmakers and suppliers on self-driving vehicle systems. The chipmaker signed recent development contracts with China’s Baidu Inc. and ZF Friedrichshafen AG.
