Roborace and NVIDIA

Published on Apr 11, 2016


We’re putting our DRIVE PX 2 AI supercomputer into the cars that will compete in the Roborace Championship, the first global autonomous motorsports competition.

Since the cars don’t need human drivers, these racecars are incredibly compact, and the designs — conceived by auto designer Daniel Simon, the man behind the light cycles of "Tron: Legacy" — are like nothing that’s been seen on a road, or a racetrack, before. There’s no room in these racers for the trunk full of PCs that powered earlier generations of autonomous vehicles.

NVIDIA self-driving car

Published on May 12, 2016


We’ve been working on developing an autonomous car that runs our deep-learning network, which we call DAVENET. Check out how this car turned out after 3,000 miles of learning in one month in this video.

Self-driving cars was a key topic at GTC 2016. We showcased our DRIVE PX 2 system, and how it's able to sense, plan, and execute all phases of autonomous driving.
