NVIDIA CEO: autonomous vehicles will be on the road in 2020

SAN FRANCISCO, November 10 morning news, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang (Jensen Huang) at an analyst meeting pointed out that autonomous vehicles will be driving on the regular roads and highways within three years.

The Santa Clara, Calif.-based company posted better-than-expected results, giving its product an unsurpassed position in gaming consoles and artificial intelligence applications.

'Next year we will see the simulation environment and the development system,' he said. 'A year later, a robot taxi. And then a year later, driving a car.'

Jen-Hsun Huang knows about autonomous cars because his company is building the brains for these cars, the car supercomputers such as the Nvidia Drive PX 2 Pegasus hardware, which by far has been adopted by more than 200 hardware companies and car makers, 120 startups are using it.

About seven years ago, NVIDIA began working hard on neural networks and artificial intelligence.The software they created, CUDA, was designed to run non-graphics software on a graphics processing unit (GPU) and create a model for graphics chips running AI software.

Huangren Xun revealed that the company's newest AI processor, Volta, is "the largest single processor in human history," with 21 billion transistors, or basic computational switches, the brainchild of 2000-3000 Nvidia engineers.

He said: 'The processor we are making is one of the hardest things in the world, and we have to give it a go because we've got the biggest investment ever.'

Huang Renxun also said: 'I believe everything will be automatic one day.Automotive, truck, shuttle, delivery van.And there are robots walking around in the warehouse or giving you pizza.'

In the coming year, NVIDIA will be earning revenue from developing supercomputers for the system, saying that robotic cabs will see rapid growth in the coming year, and Jen-Hsun Huang said that by the end of 2020-2021, you will see the first Fully automatic four-class self-driving car, do not need drivers.

As Intel has said it will enter the field of high-end graphics, and AMD to cooperate in the chip, Jen-Hsun Huang said that this type of Xin Yan news everywhere. Raja Koduri (Raja Koduri) is the head of AMD graphics division this week Dismissed, hired to Intel as chief designer of the future chip.

'The departure of Raja is a big loss for AMD and Intel's eye catcher, and the importance of the GPU is extraordinary now,' he said.

Intel and AMD have teamed up to build semi-customized graphics processors for Intel processors.
