Yesterday's announcement of cooperation Bosch, NVIDIA corporation was supported by some comments of its founder. According to NVIDIA general director , the Tegra processor Xavier generation is capable of performing up to 30 trillion operations per second, which is quite enough for creating the so-called "fourth level" autopilot systems - the penultimate in the SAE hierarchy, which still leaves a person with some right to intervene in the Management, albeit not mandatory.
NVIDIA believes that it is able to provide customers with everything needed to develop SAE third-level autonomous control systems by the end of this year, and a year later components for the fourth-level autopilot will be ready. Automakers will have to realize these opportunities with a delay of one year. Needless to say, it will take several more years to perfect the software, and it will not be easy to get permission to operate fully automatic cars on public roads. NVIDIA believes that
this will happen by about 2025, and Bosch collaborating with it believes that it will take about six years more.
Along the way, NVIDIA reported on cooperation with a truck manufacturer DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt in the field of creating an automatic trunking system. The nightmare of a truck driver becomes a reality: a machine replaces the person , albeit with an emergency shutdown button in a conspicuous place in the dashboard. NVIDIA believes that the automation of commercial transport has great prospects: there are more than 300 million trucks in the world alone. Related Products :
