NVIDIA is launching its autonomous vehicle platform in May

The future, as the saying goes, is already here. It’s just unevenly distributed. Maybe that’s because it comes loaded with a trunk full of computers. So today we’re announcing pricing and availability for our NVIDIA PX development platform. Introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, NVIDIA DRIVE PX is a powerful self-driving car computer designed to slip the power of deep neural networks into real-world cars. We’re making our DRIVE PX development platform available in May to automakers, Tier 1 automotive suppliers and research institutions, to get cars on the road toward driving themselves. NVIDIA DRIVE PX is built for the growing number of automakers that have already put – or soon will put – self-driving cars on the roads. The common denominator: all of these projects rely on NVIDIA GPU technology to help process and analyze, in real time, the data streaming in from sensors and cameras mounted all over the car.
