NVIDIA today unveiled details of its functional safety architecture for NVIDIA DRIVE™, its AI autonomous vehicle platform, which uses redundant and diverse functions to enable vehicles to operate safely, even in the event of faults related to the operator, environment or systems. The NVIDIA DRIVE architecture enables automakers to build and deploy self-driving cars and trucks that are functionally safe and can be certified to international safety standards, such as ISO 26262.
“Safety is the most important feature of a self-driving car,” said Jensen Huang, founder and chief executive officer of NVIDIA. “It is imperative that it operate safely, even when things go wrong. NVIDIA’s investment into this functional safety platform is one of the most important ones we’ve ever made, and it provides a critical ingredient for automakers to bring self-driving cars to market.”
