Hittin' the Sim: NVIDIA's Matt Cragun on Conditioning Autonomous Vehicles in Simulation

Training, testing and validating autonomous vehicles requires a continuous pipeline -- or data factory -- to introduce new scenarios and refine deep neural networks. A key component of this process is simulation. AV developers can test a virtually limitless number of scenarios, repeatably and at scale, with high-fidelity, physically based simulation. And like much of the technology related to AI, simulation is constantly evolving and improving, getting ever nearer to closing the gap between the real and virtual worlds. NVIDIA DRIVE Sim, built on Omniverse, provides a virtual proving ground for AV testing and validation.
