Autonomous vehicles are redefining the way we live, work, and play—creating safer and more efficient roads. These revolutionary benefits require massive computational horsepower and large-scale production software expertise. Tapping into decades-long experience in high-performance computing, imaging, and AI, NVIDIA has built a software-defined, end-to-end platform for the transportation industry that enables continuous improvement and continuous deployment through over the air updates. It delivers everything needed to develop autonomous vehicles at scale. Simulation is critical for the development of autonomous vehicles. It allows us to train deep learning networks at scale. It allows us to test and debug difficult to reproduce or dangerous situations safely and efficiently. It allows us to easily test under varying geographical and climatic conditions at will. With DRIVE Sim 2.0, NVIDIA is writing a new chapter on real-time simulation. Built on our Omniverse platform and harnessing the power of RTX ray tracing, we're revolutionizing the world of simulation, combining enterprise-grade simulation with entertainment-quality graphics.
