Det verkar som Tesla köper nästan allt från Nvidia angående AP2.0.
"Nvidia is providing a complete system, with PC board, processors, and other chips for camera and sensor interfaces."
Även utvecklingskit för mjukvaran. Dessutom har de
"Along with an integrated hardware solution, Nvidia also provides Driveworks, a software development kit (NYSEARCA:SDK) that provides algorithms for object detection, path planning, and map localization. This is in addition to the "deep learning" AI tools available for the GPUs.
Nvidia's SDKs would put Tesla well along the path of replacing Mobileye, especially since Tesla had already taken over "higher level" Autopilot functions. But even the SDKs would probably not be enough for Tesla to build an equivalent of the current Autopilot system without a head start.
Fortunately for Tesla, Nvidia has been working on self-driving car technology for some time, as demonstrated in this video released in February:"
Och Tesla har jobbat ihop med Nvidia bra länge.
"And then there was the quick interview between Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang and Elon Musk during the keynote of the 2015 GPU Technology Conference hosted by Nvidia (shown in the photo at the top of the article). At the conference Musk stated:
We'll take autonomous cars for granted in quite a short time. I almost view it as a solved problem. We know what to do, and we'll be there in a few years.
At the time, this was passed off as idle speculation on Musk's part, but in retrospect, it appears he was basing his observations on the work that Nvidia was doing. And Jen-Hsun did not take issue with his prediction."
Och om 3-4 månader har man bättre funktionalitet i AP2.0 är AP1.0.
"I don't believe that the software development effort is so immature that the Nvidia hardware will be obsolete before it is ready to be deployed. I expect that software capability equivalent to first generation Autopilot will be ready in 3-4 months, with future upgrades adding more capability in the coming months and years."
Kompletta lösningar från Nvidia kostar under 1000 dollar.
"I'm ball parking $1,000 per unit revenue for Nvidia. At 50,000 systems delivered every quarter, that adds about $50 million to Nvidia's top line."

Tänk på att detta är ett stort genombrott för Nvidia på en helt ny marknad, en prestigeorder som kan göra att Nvidia
blir ledande på bil GPU/CPUer.
