Nvidia unveiled what it calls the world 's first in - flight ' supercomputer ' at the Consumer Electronics conference ( CES ) in Las Vegas this week , which will reportedly enable car manufacturers to develop their own self - driving cars . The company 's Drive PX2 will demonstrate 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 models 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 six - month 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 .
