NVIDIA DRIVE to be featured in 2022 and beyond Hyundai vehicles

Isn't this just infotainment and navigation?

The release and article only talk about the infotainment system. There's blather about the "cockpit experience" but the illustration on the Hyundai page shows music and navigation.

The links to the Nvidia site show autonomous vehicle platforms that don't appear to have anything to do with what Hyundai is talking about.

 

I think it starts to cross over into autopilot territory. No idea what the actual capabilities of this are however.

 

If I understand correctly Tesla used to use Nvidia for autopilot before designing their own hardware to lower costs. Nonetheless, Nvidia as a company is doing very well in high performance computing and their share price over the last decade reflects that.

 

I believe that's correct. We have used nVidia video cards in our PCs for a long time, and some people have used the multiple GPUs for non-video processing.

If it is true that they are using for something sort of like autopilot, the amount of processing that is needed would depend a lot on how much capability that they intend to try and provide. I kind of have a feel for the capabilities that one gets with LKA+ACC+blind spot detection - I would guess that they want to kick it up to the next level.

I really doubt that they would try and go head-to-head with Tesla's full-self-driving - not for the first go-around. That's an incredibly hard problem, and I am far from convinced that even Tesla would be able to deliver true FSD any time soon.
