Audi and NVIDIA team up to create the best self-driving car

At the recently completed CES 2017, the specialists of the automotive corporation Audi announced the beginning of cooperation with the manufacturer of components NVIDIA. The main goal pursued by such an alliance is to create “the best self-driving car that will have a highly developed artificial intelligence”. And although the creation of a coalition was reported recently, developments in this area have been ongoing for a long time. The company even presented a prototype of its development.



The technology presented at CES 2017 already includes artificial intelligence functions that allow the car to choose the optimal speed and trajectory. Developed by engineers Audi and NVIDIA artificial intelligence will be able to quickly respond to various dangerous situations on the road and other “force majeure”. As a hardware part, the latest Nvidia Drive PX computer with embedded multi-level neural networks will be used.

Learning to drive artificial intelligence based on neural networks will be held by qualified drivers on specially equipped landfills and test sites, and then in urban traffic. It has already been stated that at the first stage of training, the AI will learn to respond to changes in the movement process associated with carrying out repairs of varying degrees of complexity, moving through barriers and train paths, overcoming obstacles in the form of a sudden change in weather conditions and changing the final point of the trip at the request of the passenger. The new car is scheduled to hit the market in 2020, but in the meantime, you can enjoy a demo video from Audi and NVIDIA. published
