Nvidia Moves Self-Driving Car Tests from Road to Data Center

Arguments that the algorithm driving the Uber self-driving car that struck and killed a pedestrian in Arizona this month may not have been at fault did not matter to Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, when he took away the company’s ability to continue testing the technology in the state Monday, calling the incident “an unquestionable failure.”

Failure or not, what if such tests came with zero risk to humans? That’s the promise of Nvidia’s new product.

Nvidia temporarily suspended tests of its own self-driving cars on public roads "to learn from the Uber incident," a company spokesman told Reuters.

At the company's annual GTC Summit in San Jose, California, Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced a two-server solution that simulates data generated by a self-driving car and trains a driving algorithm using that data. The promise is to move self-driving car testing off the public roads and into data centers before the technology is proven out.

Nvidia announced it was working on the technology at last year’s summit. This time, it’s announcing the actual product, which it expects to make available to early access partners in the third quarter.

The basic idea isn’t new. For example, Intel Labs, together with the Toyota Research Institute and the Computer Vision Center in Barcelona, designed an open source driving simulator for training self-driving cars called CARLA (Car Learning to Act). Another open source simulator was released by Udacity, the online education platform. Autonomous-driving companies have also been using simulators built for gaming to train their algorithms.
