How to train your...car?
Posted on by Kolbe
Chip maker Nvidia is teaming up with automakers Bentley, Aston Martin, Tesla and Rolls Royce to work on technology for the autonomous cars of tomorrow. Nvidia has been supplying hardware and software development kits to help train on board computers. It sounds crazy, “train your car,” but that’s exactly what they are working on doing. Through this software and a series of small cameras on the outside of your car, your car will eventually be able to recognize real-world obstacles. A pedestrian in the road, a parked car on the side of the road, it will even be able to tell the difference between a police car, and a police car with its lights and siren on. With this knowledge your car will eventually be able to react to its environment all on its own. It’ll know when to stop, or take evasive action, or in the scenario with the police, it’ll know when to keep driving, or when to pull over.
