Chip maker Nvidia will make its platform target self-driving cars to automakers this May, the company announced in a blog post.
The company says its Drive PX platform will also be available to "Tier 1 automotive suppliers and research institutions," says Nvidia's Danny Shapiro.
Introduced during January's International Consumer Electronics Show, Drive PX boasted features such as cars able to find their own parking spaces or returning to their owners like an automated valet.
The platform uses two Tegra X1 processors that are the size of thumbnails, yet boast 2.3 teraflops of performance.
"That's enough to weave together data streaming in from 12 camera inputs and enable a wide range of advanced driver assistance features to run simultaneously – including surround view, collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, mirror-less operation, cross-traffic monitoring and driver-state monitoring," writes Shapiro.
Automotive partners featured on the home page for Drive PX include Audi, BMW, Honda and electric car maker Tesla.
The automobile has served as the next frontier for tech giants, as they all clamor to dominate your dashboard -- or even take over the wheel. Google is currently working on its own self-driving car, while the tech giant joins Apple and others in customizing the in-car experience with high-tech dashboards.
