Audi and Nvidia team up to build fully autonomous cars, expected to hit the road in 2020

 

Audi said on Wednesday that it has established a partnership with Nvidia to jointly develop a fully autonomous car that is expected to hit the road in 2020. At the same time, Audi plans to expand its autonomous driving tests to public roads in some states such as California next year.

The announcement was made at the 2017 International Consumer Electronics Show, a tech trade show in Las Vegas that brings together automakers and suppliers trying to show off their progress in building self-driving cars.

Audi and Nvidia have expanded their collaboration to develop a semi-autonomous driving system called Traffic Jam Pilot, which will be available on the Audi A8 later this year. The system uses Nvidia hardware and software and allows drivers to let the car drive itself in certain situations at speeds up to 35 miles per hour.

Tesla also turned to Nvidia for the computing power it needs for its next-generation Autopilot feature, which it began shipping in its sedans and SUVs in October. The hardware could one day enable vehicles to drive themselves via software upgrades. Chief Executive Elon Musk hopes to demonstrate Tesla’s self-driving capabilities by the end of this year.

BMW AG is joining Nvidia rival Intel Corp. in developing a system with Mobileye, one of the main suppliers of components needed for self-driving features. The three companies announced Wednesday plans to have 40 test cars on the road in the second half of this year.
