Baraja, Hesai, Innoviz, Magna and Ouster join Nvidia Drive developer ecosystem
When it comes to autonomous vehicle sensor innovation, it’s best to keep an open mind – and an open development platform, according to chipmaker Nvidia.
That’s why Nvidia Drive is the chosen platform on which the majority of these sensors run, says the company.
In addition to camera sensors, Nvidia has long recognized that lidar is a crucial component to an autonomous vehicle’s perception stack. By emitting invisible lasers at incredibly fast speeds, lidar sensors can paint a detailed 3D picture from the signals that bounce back instantaneously.

Autonomous electric truck maker Einride says the next generation of its groundbreaking “Pods” will use the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin autonomous vehicle computing platform to handle high-speed, unmanned operations.
Pär Degerman, CTO of Einride, says: “Safety and functionality in autonomous drive are achieved in two ways: diversity and redundancy.
“To capture and account for the diversity in a myriad of operational scenarios, and to develop the redundancy necessary to improve functionality, we need the most advanced processors possible, and that’s where Nvidia Orin comes in.” [Read more…] about Einride driverless trucks now powered by Nvidia chips
Locomation, a provider of autonomous trucking technology, says it will use the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin autonomous vehicle computing platform for the commercialization of self-driving trucks starting in 2022.
Locomation’s first commercial product in a series of planned product rollouts is Autonomous Relay Convoy (ARCTM).
ARCTM allows one driver to pilot a lead truck equipped with technology augmentation while a fully autonomous follower truck operates in tandem. [Read more…] about Locomation integrates Nvidia chip into autonomous vehicle
Chipmaking giant Nvidia has expanded its Jetson AI at the Edge platform with an entry-level developer kit priced at $59, opening the potential of AI and robotics to a new generation of students, educators and hobbyists.
The Jetson Nano 2GB Developer Kit is designed for teaching and learning AI by creating hands-on projects in such areas as robotics and intelligent IoT.
To support the effort, Nvidia also announced the availability of free online training and AI-certification programs, which will supplement the many open-source projects, how-tos and videos contributed by thousands of developers in the vibrant Jetson community.

e-con Systems, an embedded camera solutions company, has launched its STURDeCAM20 industrial grade GMSL camera and STURDeCAM20_CUXVR camera kit leveraging the powerful capabilities of the Nvidia Jetson edge AI platform.
The new offerings accelerate time to market for customers developing and deploying ruggedized applications for industrial and outdoor environments such as autonomous mobile robots, delivery robots, sidewalk robots, blind spot cameras for large vehicles, mining vehicles, forklifts, surround view systems, and more.
The STURDeCAM20 is based on a Full HD CMOS sensor with well-tuned image signal processor (ISP) packed in an IP67 rated (water and dust proof) enclosure with operating temperature of -40 to 85°C. [Read more…] about e-con Systems launches IP67 rugged GMSL2 camera for industrial applications
Nvidia, one of the largest chipmakers in the world with a leading position in the robotics and autonomous cars market, is in talks to buy ARM, according to a report on the Bloomberg website.
ARM is a chip designer which was bought in 2016 for $32 billion by SoftBank Group, as reported by the Financial Times.
SoftBank Group is a giant Japanese telecommunications company and is the parent of SoftBank Robotics. [Read more…] about Nvidia reportedly in talks to buy ARM
Continental is building a supercomputer based on the Nvidia computing platform. The system is intended for vehicle artificial intelligence system training.
The two companies say they are building the high-performance cluster based on Nvidia DGX AI systems, adding that this will “boost autonomous driving development performance”.
The new cluster reduces development time from weeks to hours, say the companies and among its main uses are deep learning, simulation and virtual data generation. [Read more…] about Continental building supercomputer on Nvidia platform to use for vehicle AI
Automotive giant Mercedes-Benz and chipmaker Nvidia have agreed a significant, wide-ranging and long-term partnership designed to build what they are describing as “smartphones on wheels”. (See video below.)
Nvidia, which already has a leading position in the automotive market, says it is building the chips and supercomputers that the new Mercs will require.
And Mercedes-Benz says it is busy building the operating system the newly designed cars will run. [Read more…] about Mercedes-Benz and Nvidia partner to build ‘smartphones on wheels’
