Nvidia unveiled what it calls the world's first in-car 'supercomputer' at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas six-month, which will reportedly allow car manufacturers to build their own self-driving cars. The company's Drive PX2 will revolutionise the way self-driving cars process information, in particular from images it receives from a number of cameras mounted around the car. The new Drive PX2 will be tested by Volvo on its latest self-driving car models. The 'supercomputer' also uses deep neural networks, a form of AI, which allows car manufacturers to teach vehicles to recognise specific objects without writing lines of code. During a this week period of internal tests, Nvidia managed to get object recognition levels from 39% to 88%. Companies including Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Japanese self-driving taxi company ZMP, are all using Nvidia's system to develop their self-driving cars.
