NVIDIA Demonstrates Tegra X1 Automotive Applications with DRIVE CX, DRIVE PX During CES 2015

At the start of their CES 2015, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang unveiled the Tegra X1 mobile SoC. He quickly noted that its TERAFLOP computing capabilities made the chip unnecessarily powerful for most smartphone users and went on to introduce two computing platforms based on Tegra X1 for car computers.

DRIVE CX is a system with a single Tegra processor intended for driving multiple interface displays in the car. Two displays in a demo car driver seat were featured infotainment system, which displayed a city navigator, and the digital dashboard, which displayed a speedometer. DRIVE CXs graphics capabilities were demonstrated enhancing car digital systems with 3D graphics.

DRIVE PX is an advanced driver assistance system utilizing a pair of Tegra X1 processors. The platform and its technology are to be used for autonomous driving systems. Through machine learning and GPUs, DRIVE PX was presented as the next step in autonomous driving which culminated on-stage with the system driving a car simulator. During this demonstration, DRIVE PX not only drove through the virtual NVIDIA parking garage, but also parked the car.

NVIDIA will be on the CES 2015 show floor at the Las Vegas Convention Center showing Tegra X1 alongside its demonstrated automotive products and technologies to guests.
