A Proven Method: DRIVE Constellation Now Supports CarSim Vehicle Model
NVIDIA’s simulation tools for testing autonomous cars in the virtual world now offer more models for validation. Two key simulation companies — Mechanical Simulation, creator of CarSim and TruckSim, and IPG — are integrating their high-fidelity vehicle models into the NVIDIA DRIVE Constellation platform. This means that every aspect of driving — from how long… Continue reading A Proven Method: DRIVE Constellation Now Supports CarSim Vehicle Model
Bird’s-AI View: Harnessing Drones to Improve Traffic Flow
Traffic. It’s one of the most commonly cited frustrations across the globe. It consumed nearly 180 hours of productive time for the average U.K. driver last year. German drivers lost an average of 120 hours. U.S. drivers lost nearly 100 hours. Because time is too precious to waste, RCE Systems — a Brno, Czech Republic-based… Continue reading Bird’s-AI View: Harnessing Drones to Improve Traffic Flow

DRIVE Labs: How We’re Building Path Perception for Autonomous Vehicles
Editor’s note: No one developer or company has yet succeeded in creating a fully autonomous vehicle. But we’re getting closer. With this new DRIVE Labs blog series, we’ll take an engineering-focused look at each individual open challenge — from perceiving paths to handling intersections — and how the NVIDIA DRIVE AV Software team is mastering… Continue reading DRIVE Labs: How We’re Building Path Perception for Autonomous Vehicles
Tesla Raises the Bar for Self-Driving Carmakers
In unveiling the specs of his new self-driving car computer at this week’s Tesla Autonomy Day investor event, Elon Musk made several things very clear to the world. First, Tesla is raising the bar for all other carmakers. Second, Tesla’s self-driving cars will be powered by a computer based on two of its new AI… Continue reading Tesla Raises the Bar for Self-Driving Carmakers
Driving Drivetrains: Musashi Seimitsu Mobilizes AI Manufacturing
A robot arm glides to scoop up high-precision automotive gears from a glowing cube used for inspections as a nearby autonomous guided vehicle carts heavy parts across the manufacturing floor, yielding to an employee. It’s a glimpse at the future at Japanese auto-parts giant Musashi Seimitsu, the world’s largest manufacturer of transmission gears. But it’s… Continue reading Driving Drivetrains: Musashi Seimitsu Mobilizes AI Manufacturing

Shifting Ground: AI Analyzes Volcanoes for Signs of Eruption
Seattle, Naples and Tokyo are separated by thousands of miles, but they share a common neighbor: potentially devastating volcanoes. Around the world, about 800 million people live within 100 kilometers of a volcano, posing a threat to lives and livelihoods. Even eruptions that occur in remote areas can spread ash and disrupt public health, agriculture… Continue reading Shifting Ground: AI Analyzes Volcanoes for Signs of Eruption
Clean Machines: Startup’s Bots Sweep Up Corporate Campuses
Gregg Ratanaphanyarat and Dawei Ding joined the ranks of college dropouts in 2016, leaving Penn State to launch a robotics startup for outdoor cleaning. Today that gamble appears to be paying off. The duo’s startup, ViaBot, is completing a pilot with a major firm to keep a Bay Area parking lot clean with its robots,… Continue reading Clean Machines: Startup’s Bots Sweep Up Corporate Campuses
