Nvidia launches its platform for autonomous vehicles and robots Drive AGX Orin

Nvidia introduces Drive AGX Orin, a highly technologically advanced platform specifically for autonomous cars and robots.

Nvidia yesterday presented its new platform for autonomous vehicles and robots called; Nvidia DRIVE AGX OrinThis platform is based on a new SoC called Orin.

This technology is the result of nothing less thanand four years of investment in R&D. It features 17.000 billion transistors, which is absolutely crazy these days. We are probably looking at the most refined and advanced autonomous driving system to date.

The Orin SoC integrates the latest graphics architecture present in the company's cards, that is, Nvidia Turin. On the other hand, the processor is made up of ARM Hercules cores, as well as new deep learning and computer vision accelerators.

The result is summed up in being able to provide the incredible figure of 200 trillion operations per second, in other words, almost 7 times the performance of the previous generation from Nvidia, “Xavier.”

Orin's design is focused on handling many applications and deep neural networks, which work simultaneously in autonomous vehicles and yes, also in robots. Of course, the system's security is also foolproof.

The platform construction is defined by Software, something that is becoming more and more common these days. Drive AGX Orin It has been developed to allow compatible platforms, that is, from a level 2 autonomous vehicle to a level 5 (100% autonomous).

This allows OEMs to develop large-scale software product families, which can be complex if desired.

At the last E3 2019, Nvidia showed off this technology with a remote-controlled car, without even having the need to be inside it, something that had not been seen until now.

We are talking about Nvidia, the world's leading brand in virtual reality and graphics cards. Its technology, compared to that of manufacturers in the field of IA and even autonomous driving is light years ahead of the rest.

The merger of the technology giant, providing its products to the various manufacturers, will speed up the process considerably, to, among other things, develop the first vehicle. 100% autonomous from the story, that is, the first level 5.
