Wassim™ Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Drive AutoPilot, the platform with artificial intelligence of "level 2+" for vehicles of automated driving of Nvidia, would begin to work from 2020, according to announced the company the past Monday 7 of January. The chipmaker said German automakers Continental AG and ZF Friedrichshafen AG will use the platform in their automatic driving systems. ZF will also offer the option of using a chip created by rival Xilinx together with Nvidia for the first time. This technology, according to the company, would add greater automation capabilities to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). "A level 2+ system requires more computational power and more sophisticated software than today so that all its features work to the maximum," said the vice president of Autonomous Machines, Rob Csongor, through a statement on his page official. Nvidia said the platform integrates its Xavier system-on-chip (SoC) processors and the Drive software to process sensor data outside the vehicle and inside the cab. This, as explained by the company, allows autonomous vehicles to change lanes and move through curves or hills on the road. It would also offer a monitoring system for auxiliary drivers, such as smart co-pilots or a computerized view of the vehicle. Drive AutoPilot is part of the Nvidia Drive platform, currently used by hundreds of companies involved in autonomous driving cars, including Uber Technologies and Volkswagen AG, and also by software developers, car suppliers, sensor companies and cartography. The NVIDIA DRIVE autopilot will be presented within the framework of CES 2019, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 8 to 11.
