NVIDIA's Automotive Supercomputer Can Now Handle Fully Autonomous Driving

Graphics chip company NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) first introduced its DRIVE PX platform, a machine-learning automotive supercomputer that enables advanced driver assistance features, in early 2015. Over 200 companies, including some major automakers, have partnered with NVIDIA, building their self-driving car efforts around the DRIVE PX system.

On Tuesday, NVIDIA announced the next step in its plan to power the self-driving car of the future. At the GPU Technology Conference in Munich, NVIDIA unveiled the DRIVE PX Pegasus, a supercharged upgrade to the DRIVE PX system that NVIDIA claims can power full Level 5 driverless vehicles. With a vast increase in processing power, NVIDIA sees Pegasus as the brains behind the self-driving car revolution.
