Setting the stage for a future of self-driving cars, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang introduces the NVIDIA DRIVE PX 2, at the Consumer Electronics Show 2016 in Las Vegas. It's the world's first in-car artificial intelligence supercomputer, with the processing power equivalent to that of 150 MacBook Pros, but merely taking the space of a school lunchbox.

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.

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.
