The second contains a powerful Nvidia DRIVE Pegasus AI car computer that runs the complete autonomous vehicle software stack and processes the simulated data as if it were coming from the sensors of a car driving on the road. Autonomous vehicle creators like Waymo and Cruise have been able to rack up single digit millions of miles from the dozens or hundreds of test vehicles they have been able to put on roads. But the weakness of this brute force method is manifest in the individual on-road mishaps and, in the case of Uber just last week, fatalities that result from unanticipated scenarios or system failures. Automotive industry safety standards allow little or no room for failure and here, too, Nvidia is a leader. Huang says the Nvidia line up represents "the first line up of computers that Nvidia has ever made that stands up to the highest standard of functional safety ISO 26262 and ASIL-D. It is the first time that we have delivered this level of software and hardware complexity."
