Autonomous vehicles have revolutionized the transportation industry, and NVIDIA is playing a crucial role in driving this revolution. In an exciting development, Nuro has announced that it will be licensing its Nuro Driver autonomous driving system to automakers and mobility providers, paving the way for a safer, more efficient, and sustainable transportation system.
Nuro Driver Licensed Directly to Automakers
To accelerate autonomous vehicle development and deployment timelines, Nuro has announced that it will be licensing its Nuro Driver autonomous driving system directly to automakers and mobility providers. This is a significant move, as it enables manufacturers to leverage Nuro’s expertise in autonomous technology, without having to build the system themselves.
The Nuro Driver is built on NVIDIA’s end-to-end safety architecture, which includes NVIDIA GPUs for AI training in the cloud and an automotive-grade NVIDIA DRIVE Thor computer running the NVIDIA DriveOS operating system inside the vehicle.
Benefits of Nuro’s End-to-End Approach
The Nuro Driver is an end-to-end autonomous driving system, which means it is designed to manage the entire driving process, from perception to decision-making. This approach enables Nuro to achieve higher levels of reliability, safety, and efficiency than traditional, siloed approaches to autonomous driving.
Licensing Brings Autonomous Vehicles to the Forefront
The licensing of the Nuro Driver marks a significant step forward in bringing level 4 autonomous vehicles to the market, accelerating the adoption of autonomous technology across the transportation industry.
The next-gen Nuro Driver will include safety features such as microphones for siren detection and systems for removing dirt from sensors as well as redundancy in safety-critical systems.
Testing and Deployment
Nuro has demonstrated the reliability and safety of its technology in real-world conditions, with more than 1 million autonomous miles completed across its fleet of R&D vehicles and zero at-fault incidents. The company has also received approval from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to test its driverless vehicles in four San Francisco Bay Area cities: Los Altos, Menlo Park, Mountain View and Palo Alto.
Conclusion>
In conclusion, the licensing of Nuro’s Nuro Driver autonomous driving system is a significant milestone in the development of autonomous vehicles. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry, improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability. As Nuro continues to drive innovation in this space, we can expect to see even more exciting developments in the months and years ahead.
