As mentioned above, NVIDIA Corporation is having an incredibly strong start to the trading session this morning after unveiling a new license-plate-sized piece of hardware that’s designed to further advance self-driving car technology. In fact, this piece of hardware, while it is only the size of a license plate, is expected to harness the equivalent of 100 servers in a data center. The company hopes to use the technology to enhance self-driving taxis.
The hardware unveiled by NVDA early this morning is known as the Drive PX Pegasus and is designed to specifically target the self-driving taxi industry. In particular, the company will be competing for business from firms like Uber and Lyft as they continue to fight for global dominance in the taxis space.
Moving forward, the CNA Finance team will continue to keep a close eye on NVDA. In particular, we’ll continue to watch the work the company is doing in the autonomous vehicle space. When these vehicles do become a mainstream product, if NVIDIA is indeed capable of reducing power use by thousands of watts while providing an incredibly powerful motherboard so to speak, they could quickly become a key player in this emerging industry. Nonetheless, we’ll continue to follow the story closely and bring the news to you as it breaks!
