When at the beginning of this year NVIDIA decided to name the names of its customers in the field of creating autopilot systems for cars production , the news mentioned companies ZF and Bosch, and only the first one got off to the surface details about their plans. Since the components of ZF and Bosch are used in tens of millions of cars produced annually, cooperation with these manufacturers gives NVIDIA access to a very capacious market segment.
This week, Bosch and NVIDIA in a joint statement explained that the version of DRIVE PX developed by them based on the Tegra processor Xavier generation will find application in mass-market cars. The parties believe that the computing resources of this processor and associated "cloud" services are enough to not only recognize objects in real time, but also predict the behavior of other participants in the movement, choosing the safest path.
According to NVIDIA, such systems of "autopilot" based on Xavier processors will allow achieving the fourth level of autonomy according to SAE classification - the car will be able to react to all situations independently. The highest level of management autonomy is the fifth - it no longer provides for human intervention in any conditions. Most experts agree that on public roads, serial cars with a similar level of autonomy will not appear until the next decade. Bosch believes
that the transition to automatic transport management systems will significantly improve road safety. Related Products :
