#Nvidia and #Bosch team up to build an AI supercomputer for your #self-driving car
The key is #Xavier, Nvidia's forthcoming supercomputer system-on-chip.

It seems that barely a day goes by without news of a tech company teaming up with the auto industry to advance the art of self-driving vehicles. it was #Nvidia and #Bosch's turn. In an announcement at Bosch Connected World in #Berlin, #Germany, the two companies revealed that they are collaborating on an onboard computer capable of running the AI necessary for self-driving.

#Based on #Nvidia's Drive #PX technology—which also powers semi-autonomous Teslas—the Bosch will also use Nvidia's forthcoming "Xavier" AI system-on-chip. Nvidia says that Xavier is capable of 20 #trillion operations per second while drawing just 20 #watts of #power, meaning the Bosch car computer should be #smaller and cheaper than Nvidia's current Drive PX 2 unit.

"We want #automated driving to be possible in every situation. As early as the next decade, driverless cars will also be a part of everyday life. Bosch is advancing automated driving on all technological fronts. We aim to assume a #leading role in the field of artificial #intelligence, too," Bosch CEO Dr. #Volkmar Denner said in a statement.

"Self-driving cars is a challenge that can finally be solved with recent breakthroughs in deep learning and artificial intelligence," said Jen-Hsun Huang, Nvidia's founder and #CEO. "Using DRIVE PX AI car computer, Bosch will build automotive-grade systems for the mass production of autonomous cars."

However, it will be some time before any of us are being driven around by cars powered by this collaboration; production is expected "by the beginning of the next decade," according to Bosch.
