By Jim Gibbins - 1st July 2019
Sweden / USA - The Volvo Group of Gothenburg, Sweden, has signed an agreement with Santa Clara, California-based software specialist, NVIDIA to jointly develop a decision-making system of autonomous commercial vehicles and machines. Utilising NVIDIA’s end-to-end artificial intelligence platform for training, simulation and in-vehicle computing, the resulting system is designed to safely handle fully autonomous driving on public roads and highways.
Volvo says it is to utilise NVIDIA’s full software stack for sensor processing, perception, map localisation and path planning, enabling a wide range of possible autonomous driving applications, such as freight transport, refuse and recycling collection, public transport, construction, mining, forestry and more.
