Semiconductor companies are also optimistic about the increasing demand for automotive components in applications such as ADAS, car entertainment and car networking, and expand the product. deploy.
Deep learning / artificial intelligence blessing smart car more smart

ADAS is the primary key to moving towards smart cars. To accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles, NVIDIA announced the launch of its first in-vehicle artificial intelligence engine, the DRIVE PX 2 (Figure 1), which uses NVIDIA's advanced graphics processing unit (GPU) to handle deep learning functions to master the car. Around 360 degrees, accurately determine the location of the car, and calculate a safe and comfortable route, allowing the car manufacturer to use artificial intelligence to deal with the complex situations faced by autonomous driving. This platform is expected to be available in the fourth quarter of 2016.

NVIDIA co-founder and CEO Huang Renxun said that NVIDIA's GPUs play a key role in deep learning and supercomputing evolution. The company uses them to build the brain of future autonomous vehicles, so that they can monitor and monitor at any time, eventually surpassing humans. Situational awareness.

In the future, autonomous vehicles will bring higher security, new and convenient mobile services, and even a beautiful urban design.

The DRIVE PX 2 combines two next-generation Tegra processors and two independent Pascal-based next-generation GPUs to provide up to 24 megabits of deep learning per second. Its specially designed instruction set accelerates the use of deep learning network interfaces. The mathematical algorithm is ten times more efficient than the previous generation.

This powerful deep learning capability allows the DRIVE PX 2 to quickly learn how to identify the challenges that often arise in everyday driving, such as road debris, off-track driving, and construction areas. Deep learning can also identify situations that traditional computer vision technology cannot cope with, especially in harsh weather such as heavy rain, snow and fog, and even poor lighting conditions such as sunrise, sunset and darkness.

At the same time, the DRIVE PX 2 can process the input data of twelve video cameras, optical, radar, and ultrasonic sensors, and combine them to accurately detect objects, identify and determine the position of the car relative to the surrounding. Then calculate the best path for safe driving.

This complex computing effort is performed via NVIDIA DriveWorks. DriveWorks combines a wide range of software tools, libraries and modules to support all autonomous driving pipelines, from object detection, sorting and segmentation, to map positioning and path planning, enabling operators to quickly develop and test a variety of autonomous driving. The vehicle; and sensor calibration, data acquisition, synchronization, recording, and processing multiple sensor data streams through complex algorithm threads running on all DRIVE PX 2 dedicated and general purpose processors.

In addition, in terms of general-purpose floating-point operations, the DRIVE PX 2's multi-precision GPU architecture can achieve 8 megabits per second of computing speed, which is more than four times higher than the previous generation.

This allows partners to handle a wide range of autonomous driving algorithms, including sensor fusion, fine positioning and path planning, while providing high-precision calculations when multiple levels of deep learning networks are required.
