What’s the Difference Between Hardware and Software Accelerated Ray Tracing?
You don’t need specialized hardware to do ray tracing, but you want it. Software-based ray tracing, of course, is decades old. And it looks great: movie makers have been using ray tracing for decades now. But it’s now clear that specialized hardware — like the RT Cores built into NVIDIA’s Turing architecture — makes a… Continue reading What’s the Difference Between Hardware and Software Accelerated Ray Tracing?
Made You Look: GPU Technology Helps Volkswagen Create Eye-Catching Vehicle Designs
Thanks to GPUs, practical vehicle design doesn’t have to be boring. Last month, Volkswagen used the latest in simulation and compute technologies to tailor its design process for both fuel efficiency and style. Striking the elusive balance between form and function called for a collaborative effort. Altair, a global technology company, developed a computational fluid… Continue reading Made You Look: GPU Technology Helps Volkswagen Create Eye-Catching Vehicle Designs
Signed, Sealed, Autonomously Delivered: TuSimple Operates New Kind of Mail Carrier in Self-Driving Pilot
Snail mail has a new set of futuristic, faster wheels. NVIDIA DRIVE partner and autonomous trucking startup TuSimple has been hauling mail more than 1,000 miles between Phoenix and Dallas as part of a two-week pilot with the U.S. Postal Service. Halfway through the test, the self-driving prototypes have already been arriving at the delivery… Continue reading Signed, Sealed, Autonomously Delivered: TuSimple Operates New Kind of Mail Carrier in Self-Driving Pilot

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
