NVIDIA reveals its next-gen chipset for autonomous vehicles

The company had other news up its sleeve, including in the autonomous vehicle space. During the GTC keynote, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang announced a system-on-chip (SoC) called Drive Thor. NVIDIA says it designed the chip using the latest advancements in graphics and processing to provide 2,000 teraflops of performance, all while keeping costs down. NVIDIA says that Drive Thor can unify all the various functions of vehicles -- including infotainment, the digital dashboard, sensors, parking and autonomous operation -- for greater efficiency. Vehicles with the chipset will be able to run Linux, QNX and Android simultaneously.
